i thought i would post some pics of my progress, i started swapping out my amc powerplant for a 440 in 2010, it took me a couple of years to gather up all my mopar buddies leftover parts, ended up with a really good combo 67 440 block, 030 lightweight forged pistons, steel rods and crank, ultradyne 582 lift solid cam, eddy performer rpm alum heads that have some work done on em, procomp roller rocker setup, 3500 converter, 727, car has had a 9in in it for ten years, 4.11 gears, it was a lil tricky to get it to fit but not too bad,

i used b-body headers and the pass side bolted right in, had to reroute two tubes for the driver side.. also had to remove the strut rod brackets and relocated them, but well worth the work imho.... manual brakes was a must for room, plus the blower motor and heater core had to be removed as well... the prices we pay for fun huh....

Did you use a truck pan? Can't really tell, but the dipstick in the pan made me think truck. Looks like a cool conversion. I had a Jeep pickup I always wanted to put a 440 in when I was a new driver. Dad wasn't having any of it... Edit: I saw your post in the Javelin thread and see that it is a truck pan. Never mind!
