1967 440 HP Engine

[RedBeard]

May have a chance to buy a complete 67 440 HP engine (C 440 HP). Has original chrome valve covers FYI, no transmission. Any thoughts on what it is worth?

 

[eldubb440]

its worth much more to someone with a 67 R/T or GTX....... especially if the date falls in line with their car

I am looking to put it in a 67 440 Charger body.

Is the condition known or will it be totally rebuilt?

Running engine taken out of a 67 car. Probably would need to be gone thru just to make sure all is good.

Around here, not rebuilt but "runs" is a $400 to $1000 depending on the pedigree. Motorhome engines are lower, original HP's are higher. Most of the price is dictated by the lack of history/records and the lack of ability to really run the motor through its paces to see if it is good or dying. All of those are treated as cores you may get lucky enough to be able to run as-is.

Was a good running engine with about 80,000 miles on it. Car was wrecked but engine was fine.

80K miles running engine $1200 plus. The negotiations is where it's at. You can always go up but it's real hard to come down. IMO, your part of the country may be higher or lower.

1200 to 1500 IMO.
That’s complete as described

1 year only combination of parts.

If it has the exhaust manifolds, add 300

Like I said 1 year only combination of parts. 915 closed chamber heads, etc, etc!! The exhaust manifolds are a definite plus.

So having original chrome valve covers that was optional in 67 does not add anything?

See if it still has the 915 heads on it.

Yes, it does.

The chrome valve covers were not an option. The 440 in a 67 GTX all had them.

And was that a turquoise engine?

Yes

 

[67Charger]

My 67 Charger is an original L-code 440 car. It had the chrome valve covers, 915's, turquoise paint and HP exhaust manifolds when I got it. That's the right combo.

According to a 1967 advertisement video for Coronets and Chargers that I have seen, it was.
