Ken,

See the reply from Bill - He did the decode on the vin... And an
excellent job as usual.
I will cut and past it below just in case you missed it.

he VIN area above the oil pan says: 2C243112

 2 - 1972
 C - Jefferson Ave assembly
 243112 - 143,112th car off the line

In 1972 Jefferson Avenue produced 204,440 Chryslers and 15,757
Imperials, for a total of  220,197 units (100001 to 320197).  An
additional 324 Chryslers and 37 Imperials were assembled at the Wyoming
Avenue plant for export.

Hi Earl,

pad)).  The number was: 2C243112 I will look for more numbers when I get
home.  Been working with Polys so this is RB stuff is new to me. Thanks
again, Ken

Ken,

Your best bet for telling what the engine came out of is to look at the
vin pad and decode that. It is on the bottom by the pan on the passenger
side of the motor. 346 heads are fine, they have hardened seats and will
port almost as good as 452's.

Earl


Hi Earl,
Thanks for the info.
Are the 346 heads good?
Can you tell what the engine came out of?  

He also had a Hemi, but I couldn't talk him into selling it...yet.  :-)

Regards,
Ken

Ken,

You have a 1972 440 - Compression is 8.1, and almost every one in 72
came with a Holly 600 4150 - 4160 series carb like you have. It should
have 346 heads. Good motor, put a cam, 
manifold and larger Holly, and she should be good to go.

Hi,
Can someone please help me ID the 440 I just got this weekend.

The data pad says:
First line: H440
Second line: 3   17

The VIN area above the oil pan says: 2C243112

And the casting number on the side of the block says: 2536430-9

I figured from the H440 that it is a 1972 440, but I was hoping to know
if it's a decent engine and what the CR and HP for it were.  Also, would
like to know what car it came in.

Finally, the engine came with what looks like a factory installed Holley
carb.  The numbers on the carb were:  3161 and List-6160-1.  Would this
be a higher HP engine with a Holley carb.  I though they usually used
the Thermoquad on the newer 440s? 

Thanks for the help,
Ken
