DJ, years ago i read an article in mopar muscle or some other magazine about making your 440 into a hemi. they showed the heads to bolt on. to make a hemi i know you would have to put pistons in to accept the valves in the hemi head since it is not a flat piston, it has to be a, well you know what hemi pistons look like. anyway i have the magazine here somewhere but where it is? it is possible. but like i said it would be really expensive. if i could find the magazine i would love to share it. either way, the car the guy is looking at does NOT have a 440 hemi in it. jeff--- On Mon, 11/22/10, Dennis J. <djohn14296@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:From: Dennis J. <djohn14296@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: 440 hemi ( was Re: Hemi info for display) To: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, November 22, 2010, 6:01 AM Jeff, Not to disagree with you on your statement, but you know Ma Mopar, never say never..... If I'm not mistaken, the Hemi heads where attached to a 440 block, when the 1st 426 was made and a different crank was put in it. And you can get a new Hemi power plant, though some will disagree that the new (Gen III) is not a true Hemi, as a 440 Hemi, 6.1 with a different crank. jm2cw DJ --- On <B>Mon, 11/22/10, Jeff <I><chargr1969@xxxxxxxxx></I></B> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: rgb(16,16,255) 2px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px"> From: Jeff <chargr1969@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: 440 hemi ( was Re: Hemi info for display) To: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, November 22, 2010, 12:28 AM <DIV class=plainMail>no way it is a 440 hemi. there was never a 440 hemi made. Gary is right, should be either a 318 or 360. to have a 440 hemi, you have to buy special heads to make your 440 a hemi, very expensive. jeff </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
