440-340

Ive got my 72 road runner it has its original 340 and tranny i would like to get a 440 for the car and keep the original if i ever decide to sell later. What I would like to know is there any major difference from a 440 that was in a motor home compared to a car? I found a old motor home they want 1100 but I thought about offering like 800 and seeing what I could get for scrap.

the motorhome 440's are different in how 66 explained it, but the blocks are basically the same, so you can do whatever you want to them
