"numbers matching" started in '68. the only "numbers" prior to that are casting numbers and casting dates. the engine could have come from almost anything and still have a "correct" casting number and cast date for the car in question, proving nothing. and as said, the VIN only proved /6 or v8.

Rough and untitled = $500 car. These are only just starting to rebound in value. AFAIK first year for the 440 was 65.

I noticed that too. Also could you still get the dual quad 383 by '64? I think it was rated at 343hp in earlier years. The fabled NASCAR single 4bbl Hemi. There are a few running in Stock. Barton had one that ran pretty good.

I tried to buy a 415 HP 426W M.W. 4 speed Dodge 330 in the spring of 1964, the Dodge Chrysler dealer in Palm Springs, CA (The nearest dealer to me back then) swore up and down that Dodge didn't make a 415 HP 426 wedge, only 365 HP Chrysler Corp had started making the hemi race only cars by then and they quit making the M.W. motors around April 1 was what I learned later The 426 C.I. wedge motors came in 3 different HP ratings in 1964 only, 365HP, 415Hp and 425 HP. The 426 Race Hemi motors came in 2 different HP ratings 425 HP for drag racing with the cross ram and two carbs and the single four barrel NASCAR 410 HP Mopar did not have its act together on getting information to the dealers on the hot rod cars they offered GM and Ford did

Chrysler installed the 350 HP 440 motors beginning in 1966 Chrysler and Imperials, not in Dodge or Plymouth passenger cars. In 1967 they introduced the 375 HP Magnum 440 motors in the Dodge Coronet R/T and Plymouth GTX only. I have had and built several early 440 blocks that where cast in 1965 also
