So what's the verdict

Its a 1967 440 HP based on the pictures you have provided so far.
The true tell is the close up picture of the engine ID pad that shows - year / size / build date / shift / any special stamps

Since I was asking about engine identification....is there a resource that would have component identification of the 440 engine similar to the 428CJ site.
Definitely want to learn

Spark plug wire bracket is held on by the 3rd bolt. Pad is definitely there.. you on a phone..

Sparkplug wire bracket is held on by the drivers side water neck bolt, but it positions the sparkplug wire in the way of the pad.

Looks like it may be a correct carb as I can see the 3-step metering rod, raised caps and the tag is correct.

Well a 2806178 manifold is for a 440, case closed!

As long as he can read the stamp or knows the history. My 69 RR had a 413 in it but the 2nd owner after me had it for sale saying that it was a 440.

I can't see the pad

I can't see the pad

Pad ? Pad ? What's this "pad" everyone's talking about ?

Correct Engine number on pad on front drivers side in front of
manifold cats into the block would have this sequence stanped into it:

C440 HP or
Hp2

Side of block would have Julian Date
of around 6/xx/66 to 6/xx/67

Restoration guys w have better details = I am just a racer but
we had two new 67 GTX's My dad took delivery 11/5/66 and we had
only seen then in mags before that!

This engine looks perfectly original OEM to me.

the only real way to tell is check the casting #'s i have seen the web stamped wrong or lefted blank all rb's will have a web on the top for a stamp

You might try looking at the side of the block below the head and above the freeze plugs. (This photo is upside down)
