Quote: Do you dudes remember the old MuscleCar Review Magazine? There was an excellent article by roger gibson on correctly detailing the 440sixpack/6bbl engine I think it was the fall 97 issue. It states all 440-4 barrel was h.p. only all sixpacks were H.P.2 only however this has been debuked countless times since then!!
thats why many think it because, roger gibson said so .
its has been proven FALSE ...
the only way to tell an original 6pk shortblock is to find an unmolested block , it MUST have these 2 items , first is pistons with 4 valve reliefs , second is a cam that takes a 3 bolt timing gear , it MUST HAVE BOTH
