Crawling under drivers side of 440 motor, trying to identify this 440, and with everything in the way including steering column, headers, etc....the best I THINK I'm reading: 9698880• 440
Cant even come close to finding a number like that after searching
 
look for the flat pad in front of the intake manifold driver side

Post#10 is where to start. Clean that pad off and see what is stamped. The list I am posting below covers all the BB engines..some stamps you would never see on a 440. Also look at the damper..that typically will tell if its internally balance w a forged crank or external with a cast. IMHO there were no bad 440s.

All 440 blocks are desireable. They havent made them for regular production since 1978. Maybe not a gold mine, but still desireable................
