I have a 440 RB casting number 4006630-7, casting date 7-8-77. On the lower right side pad just above the oil pan, the pad is blank with no number. My question is does a blank pad mean this block was over the counter and not assigned to a vehilce with a VIN. I have a 727 Torqueflite and I'd like to know what year it is, or might be. The number stamped into the lower case at the pan is A1942275 022983. Nick Tiberio FuryUs63 ---- Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
