Oh, I guess I got caught up in the '67 440 thing!
70sportsatellite440!
Very good! My 67' GTX is Sept 22nd. The other is march 28th or so.
Is there anyway to tell for sure? Dieseldazzle?
I thought about that but wasn't sure if any chargers came with a 440..... would they be HP?
They did, a friend in phoenix has one,a four speed. Good luck of course! I would trade my spare 440 67' HP engine just to have one dated on my birthday! Lol
Your sport satellite couldn't get a better engine.(prejudiced?)
My 67' 440 Hp is the nicest 440 I have ever owned. Smooth, reliable, and lots of balls if necessary.
either a 67 GTX or a 67 Coronet R/T....... engine was assembled oct 5, 66........ car was probably built a few weeks later
Thanks eldubb440 so the story holds water. Is this the holy grail of 440's?
You think that's cool....my buddy MowPar bought his '65 Belvedere Convertible because it is so mint, and the scheduled built day was the actual he was born.Having the HP stamp is worth considerably more than a non HP Block. The biggest value is the engine was built on my 14th Birthday! YEA!!!
MY dad has 2 67 GTX 440s. One is a barn find that he bought some time ago from a friends brother, the auto car. The other is a 4spd that he bought a couple of years ago. The 4spd car is the one he bought NEW in 67. Both engines are not stamped HP on the block. From what he tells me & what ive read they didn't stamp them HP until 68. My dad also has a 68 GTX 440 4spd & that block is stamped HP. If the 67 440 block is stamped HP is it a very late build ? As far as I know the 4spd car has been a PA. car for all its life. Its bright blue in color.
I'd have to challenge that and certainly it would not bode well for resale.
What you have read is one thing but I can tell you that I have been infactuated with the 67 440 and hemi cars for 30 years I have yet to even see one that is original that isn't stamped hp.
Based on what we know, is there a reason it couldn't be from a C body?
