removing grime and paint from my 440

Well the story goes like this. My friend has a concourse presedential chrysler limo that needs an engine overhaul about 15 years ago. He happens upon this crate engine (1977 440) by an even more unbelievable story that I can even share. Let's just say a guy named "The Chin" helped himaquire it. He sends it to get cleaned up and painted and the guy uses a can of Packard green painjt he finds in the back seat. That's why it is green. It was dropped in my buddies car and driven from upstate NY to Virginia and back, then pulled and sat until I came along. It has 413 heads that were polished and worked, and an Imperial intake manifold. It needs alot of love but it is all there.

If I could get any help on serial #s or information that is noticed by the pics all is appreciated.

Definitely a 440. Polara can tell you when it was made. Looks like a great start for a strong motor build.
