Re: [Chrysler300] 1966 chrysler 440 TNT??

In 1966, the letter designation only dealt with displacement--not  
horsepower. For instance, the 383 cid had a letter designation of "G"  
even though it came in two horsepower ratings--270 & 325. The "D"  
designation was for the 273 cid even though it came in two horsepower  
ratings--170 & 235. It follows that the "J" was very likely for both  
ratings--350 & 365. In 1967 extra letters were added to differentiate  
the different horsepower ratings. For instance "K" was for the  
350/440 and "L" was for the 375/440 (and "M" was for Special Order).   
I don't believe that "HP" was stamped on engine blocks until 1967 or  
later.
