It's not worth that as an engine, but it's worth it if you have a 1970 that needs an HP 440and the engine build date is before the car assembly date. It wouldn't be numbers matching but it would be as close as you could get.

If you just want a 440 to build it is way too much.

There are very few things that make an HP engine. Camshaft is larger, it's a 3-bolt cam, HP valvesprings, the stamp on the block, exhaust manifolds, carburetor.

Nothing in the list makes the block, heads, crank, or rods special, except the HP stamp. I'd guess pistons, too, but I'm not dead nuts certain.

Chrysler made four B engines for every one 440.

There should be a few more answers to the post.
