Re: IML: is a 440 a 440?

["dansgarage@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <dansgarage@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All....I'm having some work done on one of my '66's (the LeBaron). The vehicle has about 67,000 miles and as far as I know the original 440 is still in the car. A mechanic who was checking out the front-end while the car was on the lift asked me what motor was in the car and I told him that '66 was the first year for the 440 and that all the Imperials (as far as I know) came with this engine. He showed my some numbers stamped on the passenger-side of the engine block that ended with "430" and said that this means its a 430 NOT a 440 engine.......would one of the 'motor-guru's" please clear this up for me?!
thanks a bunch all!!!
