I have a 1977 440 big block and a 727 trannyfor sale. I keep getting low balled by craigslist. It is in good condition. I'm not sure what Pistons ir can is in it but I know it has been rebuild atleast once before. It is all stock for now. Please feel free to give me a call at 9103037194 if you are interested. I'm asking $2000 obo. I have lots of pics if you would like aswell

 

because its only worth 500

 

So I take it you aren't interested. But if you find another 440 for $500 please let me know.

 

Being a 77 it is probably a truck or motor Home low compression engine.
At the most $1000 depending what is included. You can get old Motor homes Almost for free sometimes. Nobody wants them... My dad had a 77 Southwind, Gave it to the storage lot.. Did not want to pay storage any more..

 

Sorry... here is another one... but not $500.... this one is free.

What do I win?

carguy -

The fact that it's a 1977 motor is a good thing. They were probably the strongest short blocks made - but most people don't know that. The compression might be problematic, but I recall dozens of articles back in the day when octane was being cut right and left on making low compression motors scream.

The problem is that it's from 1977 and will more than likely need a full rebuild, unless it was recently done. That has to factor into what someone is going to pay for it.

a cast crank with low cpmprssion [istions is core only

 

WHY WOULD YOU THINK ITS WORTH $2000 WHEN MY 383HP THAT PUTS OUT ALMOST TWICE THE HORSEPOWER STOCK IS ONLY WORTH $400 TO $500.

 

I bought a 440 for $300 bucks, just my input.
