So I found a 440BB

The big weight bolted to the tail ? Sounds like a "C" Body or possible 1/2 ton truck.Like you I hate to see such engines left out in the elements. I went to see about a very low miles 225. The guy had it in a trailer.He didn't know his kid took it out and left it uncovered. The carb and valve cover breather and pcv were gone the engine was full of water. What a waste....
