Wanted 440 motor good runner

[Aussie Coronet]

G'day Forum heroes,

Though I'm in no rush, I would like to locate a 440 for my Coronet. I don't really want to spend megabucks on a brand new rebuild or crate engine, just a relatively fresh motor, with no issues, is reliable and I can just drop in and enjoy. If it was attached to a 727 then that would be even better.

So if anyone has one that fits that description please drop me a line. As I'm located the other side of the lake (Australia), it would have to be palletised and packed for the journey and if that's too much of a stuff around then I understand. locally, there aren't too many 440's around and they are generally clagged out POS that would make good boat anchors.

Any advice on what would be a good ball park figure to spend would also be appreciated and I'd like a block that is as close to 68 as I can find.

G'day mate,

Is it stock? I assume it's a complete engine inc heads and inlet manifold, what else does it have in the deal?

I'm still chasing up the costs of importing an engine, should know more soon. Could you maybe send me a pic of the the whole package?

Thanks!

Nice, but a bit out of my price range. Was hoping to find a relatively recent build, perhaps with a bit of work though stock is also fine, for around $3000 +/-.

Am I dreamin'?
