Always thought it was a bad idea to name a trim level 440, and put it on the car. I'd bet many people who are not Mopar guys or who are, but are simply less knowledgeable about these think the 440 trim means it has a 440 under the hood.
LOL...That is a FACT. Back in the 80's when I was buying WAY too many cars, my Chevy buddy calls me up one day. He had been at the now long closed local wrecking yard and had bought me a complete Coronet with a 440 in it, because he knew I was always looking for them. When I asked him how he knew it was a 440, he said because it was right on the fenders and the engine was HUGE. All I asked him was where the distributor was......IN THE BACK......LOL. Wideblock Poly 318. But, he did not pay much and he sold it to one of my brother's friends who did restore it and did put a 440 in it.
