No way to tell with the info you posted. You need the info from the top pad near the distributor. There is a series of numbers stamped into it. If the HP stamp is present on this pad you have your answer.

Come back with ALL the markings on the engine ID pad under the distributor and we'll be able to tell youmore than you dreamed possible about how it was originally built.

One of the neat things about Mopars is engines in a family used the same block and head castings no matter if they were HP or 2-barrel. So all you have told us so far is that it's a 440, by the block casting number.

if its an HP you are after, HP blocks are no different than a standard block. a few internal parts are whats makes the difference.
