Took the 440 apart today…MY GOD!!!!

My son bought a 70 440 350HP a few weeks ago and got it yesterday. It

was in a 70 300 and I actually remember the car driving around in Taylor TX

years ago. It was parked in 92 and never driven from that time. Well we took

apart today and all I could say with every part that we took our or of was

MY GOD...The odometer said 46K well everyone knows that means at least

146K or more. It was really 46 and there was no ridge at all..clean as hell.

Well except for the oil had turned to jelly. 906 heads were as clean as new

and just to see I poured some gas into both intake and exhaust, the valves

were tight and dry. He is going to update the exhaust side valves and just

clean things up. New rings and big cam and its on the road...MY GOD... I still

cant get over it. $500 does go a long way and got the 727 with the right

radiator to boot...
