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?


The GTX in 1972 got the 440. The 400 in the Roadrunner is a HP engine, I personally would build the 400 into a stroker instead of putting a 440 in. The early build date 400's had the thicker webbing in the mains that is desirable.
