Hello Everyone. I have a 71 Charger SE with a stock 383 in it. Loaded car (A/C, PS, idler pulley, etc...). I am thinking of dropping in a 440 I have.

THE QUESTION: Do all the engine pulleys and brackets interchange, or will I have to find some different ones??? If so, which ones are different between 383 and 440.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

The rear support bracket for the A/C, mounts to the valley pan hold down, is longer for an RB engine. The bracket is stamped with "RB", at mine is.

thats the difference , didn't realize that the RB was stamped RB , should be fairly easy to find one , i may even have one if you need it .

Heres the bracket that they are talking about. Also your 383 has a bracket on the pass head that the long alt. bolt threads into. You won't need it on the 440.
