What to look for in a 440
I own a rolling 73 dart sport and im looking at a 440 with a 727trans on it to put in it . The guy says the 440 only has 27000 original miles on it and its from 71 to 73 came out of a grumman camper and looks complete. It has also been stored in a barn. What should i look for if i go to buy it and how much should i be willing to pay

First get the numbers and letters stamped on the pad to the rt of the distributor, it is possible that it is a 413.

I'm not sure the 413 used a diferant casting after 1966 or not. But the pad will tell you exactly what the bb is.

thermoquad is a 70's motor from a motor home so it is a LOW compression motor..doesn't matter if you are planning to rebuild like 8 1/2 to one compression, and most likely a cast crank..

I say $400 if it turns over, most of it would feed the scrapper.
