Motorhome 440's... factory seconds?

Gotta bee heresay from a MoPar hater,...I worked in a SoCal Dodge/Winnebago dealership back inna early eighties,....had 8 bays just for motor homes, and they were always full of new and old road warriors,...never heard of this before,...like most, I doubt Mother MoPars would put seconds in these rigs.

Saw alot of motor jobs, mostly on the ones with sbc 350's or 454's,...rarely did I see a 440 come out,...almost never saw a 413 come out,...but we did put in a fair amount of 360's in both motor homes and CHP Diplomats/Fury's,....back then It was the same ReMan short block assembly.

Most motor home mills were replaced cause they would run for hours/miles and then sit for months,...then run long term again without so much as a dipstick check,...ususally resulting in spun bearings on the big blocks and small blocks with extra holes inna side of em,...(CHP diplomats/fury's were good for rod vs.block issues, those guys were just brutal on those cars.)

Seen alot of guys grab up the motors(that weren't warrenty returns) and use em for street rods,...can't tell ya how many perfectly usable 350/4 bolt blocks I tossed,...
