Re: IML: 440 - Thanks all!

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

Hi All...just wanted to say THANKS to everyone that replied to the question about the '430' numbers on the blockk of my '66 Imperials 440 motor....Just as several members have mentioned, the FSM says the mounting plate on the front/top of the motor (unfortunately, its just about UNDER the AC compressor) tells the saize of the motor. Actually, Dick B. had also mentioned this to me last year at a club meeting when it question had come up about whether my vehicle actually had a 413 or a 440 in it! .....I think this mechanic, while he seems to know what he is doing, needs to have more exposure to the MOPAR family instead of the GM side of the tree! I'll be sure to rub it in a bit when I see him tomorrow...!
Thanks all!!!!

  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!!!
