440 info

Chucks probably right in saying that the crank is probably cast and therefore will be fine in a mild street buildup. One caution though, I've learned that what the seller says it is and what it actually is can be 2 different things. For the price you can't got wrong especially with the tranny included. Do yourself a favour, when you get the stuff home right down the engine casting number, head casting numbers (both cause they could be different) and crankshaft casting number and post them on this site and we'll tell you exactly what you got. Two other things, there's absolutely nothing wrong with a motor home 440 block and some would say it's a dam good block because of it's better cooling capability. Also there is a flat pad on top of the block, at the front, just to the left of the left hand (driver side) cylinder bank that will have a series of numbers stamped into it which if this is a 76 440, the stamping will be 6T440. Have fun and welcome to the dark side, Sorry Leo.
