IDK what your budget is but strongly consider hot tanking the block to clear out any gunk, new freeze plugs & reuse the threaded parts. I know you asked about a cam recommendation but what are your plans for the engine (daily driver, hot street, street/strip, strip, some of each, etc.)? I...

I agree w/RRR. That piston is done. I'm surprised the cylinder wall survived. If this were me, I'd pull the other 7 pistons. Next, I'd put a mic on the cylinder walls with an eye to a rehone or possibly new +.020 slugs.

My vote is to remove the piston & check the piston rings, piston skirt and cylinder wall on the right side where all the corrosion is located. I think you'll find there is a reason for the rings to be grabbing. I can't tell from the picture, but it appears the same corrosion is in the water...

A strong second to this! Ken has ground me 3 different cams and each one has performed better than expectations in the engine they went in. Also, there isn't anything wrong with a 383. You do you. You're also in the right place to get quality advice if you can sift through the pontificators...

Thanks for the primer on RBs/440s. Unfortunately. I was ghosted by the seller (re: no pics) and when I finally got him to respond, he said both engines were sold. Oh well, I'm much better informed for the next time I look at a 440. I appreciate everyone's help.

Thank you Andy, et al. I'll try & get the casting numbers and VINs before traveling. I've also asked for pics of the ID bosses to verify the info he provided earlier.

Thanks for the responses fellas. I'll let you know what I find.

There are 2 440 engines which I am considering. Before I go check them out, I'd like to know what I'm looking at. The info on the first pad is: T 440 E 6 19 The second pad is reported as: 8 440 EHP 1 51 What are these engines? Assuming everything else is equal between the two, is one...

To the OP, from reading the posts in this threat I hope you will have learned some things. (1) Mopars are expensive to build in comparison to other makes. They are not as cheap as slapping together a 454 & dropping it in a Chevy - in fact, most Mopar guys will admit they are into their cars for...
