Re: IML: is a 440 a 440?




maybe he was thinking 430 Lincoln or 430 Buick?
 
Scary how few people know what they are talking about, but insist they do.  I recently had an acquaintence friend, who I should add has likely never even seen a chrysler/imperial hemi before, insist that my 57' had a 2 speed automatic.     We used to call such people "bench racers" when I was in high school, because they never actually had any hands-on experience with mechanix, but they sure liked to talk about it.

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!!!
