I went to Heaven yesterday!!!!

Thanks for the heads-up!

They may be, because the block is a July 71 cast date, so it's an early 72 440 short block. I'll let him know to check.

What engine is/was in your 72 RR?

My uncle's was a factory 400 car, we believe it may still have the original engine, but haven't crawled under to verify yet.

Did they make a 440 RR in 72?

Could the 400 also have the big beams?

Yeah, was 440 single quad with the air grabber. The only picture I can find is when I was throwing a six pack on it.
I ended up with the '79 SnoCommander (and payments), she got the RR. But I still have the six pack!

I'm thinking they were using up the leftover six pack rods in the 440's. I doubt any 400's came with them though.
