Were there any 440HP vehicles built at the Belivdere IL plant in 1970?
It appears they made C bodies there. Not sure what else. I am looking at an HP block and want to make sure it is legit. VIN # stamp on pan rail is OD22XXXX. Casting date of 10/69 and does have HP stamp on top pad.

The Dodge & Plymouth c-bodies were built at Belvidere in '70. A 440HP in one would be "rare". It would include "U" code cop cars and 440+6 Sport Fury GTs & possibly a few others. What's the engine assembly date on the pad with the F 440 HP?

The VIN is 0D2200XX. Does this seem to be in line with your knowledge of the Belvidere produced cars to have the block a month + sooner than the SPD?
