what mopar car have v8 blocks bigger than 383
looking for something like a 440, but dont know what cars meening newer cars will have them
 
The last of the big block cars were in '78. And they were 400's mostly. A bigger bore than the 440 engines.
Most passenger cars could have them and things like a 300 or a station wagon could very well have them .
 
Dont all the 440's have a plate with 440 stamped on it above the water pump housing? and the 440 on the block ID? I know mine does I cant remember the sequence though.
 
Hesitate to say "all", but (basically) all big blocks are stamped with their cubic inch size on them
 
Look at my avatar. The casting on the side of the block tells you what it is.

Here is a 440 RB casting.

For era-correct block, look for this number (ignore the # after dash)!!

440 "RB" Engine
1966-78 • 4.32" bore x 3.75" stroke
If there's one golden rule of '60s engine design, it's simply bigger is better. Thus, the 440 cubic inch RB engine was born. Although debuting at a stout 365 horsepower in top form, the 440 was overshadowed by the Street Hemi which was released in the same year. But it didn't take long for the 440 to make a name for itself. In 1969-70, the 440 reached its highest state of tune with the fabled 6-bbl version rated at 390 hp. This number declined slightly in 1971 to 385 hp, which was the last year for the 3x2-bbl option. The 440 remained in production until 1978, although by then it had been strangled by the same unleaded fuel and emissions monster that ultimately killed all of Detroit's big blocks. But the fact remains that, at least on the street, the hot-rod 440 six bbl. engines of the '69-70 period would often humble a similar Hemi-equipped model.
