440 rebuild questions

The best truck engine I ever had, for hauling wood, was a bone stock 440 out of a '73 Chyrsler New Yorker.

The motorhome engine, as it was built from the factory, would be a perfect application for a wood hauler. Doing a little head work (as 273 said) while rebuilding the engine would be of benefit. If the stock cam is still good, I too would reuse it.

I hauled wood, with a 1970 3/4 ton 4x4 and a 16' trailer out of the woods and up and down mountains here in Idaho, with the '73 440 from that New Yorker.
