Re: ’62 Cop Car?

[William Harrison <bbjt3@xxxxxxxxx>]

If the car you looked at had a 440, then it is not the original motor.
If it is a big block, then it is probably a 413.
Most 62 Cop cars came with 318's.
Some came with the 413 but they were not for everyday trooper use.
The big block motors went to high ranking officers.
