Not sure what kind it is, just wondering before I make a trip to go look at it. The 440 in motorhomes is just a standard 440?? correct?

They put 440's in MHs .. but only in 1974 and up ! ... if this is a 1972 .. it should be a 413.
And those "goofy" heads ? .. DON'T throw 'em out. I can use 'em.

A 1973 MH with a 440 ?.... THAT is a rare-bird. It must have been a VERY late 1973 production chassis.
Also .. the original owner of that MH got cheated !
The 413 was a better motor for that application. The reason why the 440 replaced the 413 ... was the 440 cost muchO dollars less to produce.

maybe looking at more than one day
never know with Ma Maopar
my buddy has a 73 MH 440 front sump pan looks like the steel crank and 6 pac rods,not sure on the heads but the autolight plugs were 666
my 77 440 from a 60' 79 MH,has the bullet nose damper,cast crank,LY rods,not sure on those heads,seem taller than my buddys,but I will be looking today on mine
IMO, I would not pass it up if its a good price
I got mine with 75,00 miles on the clock for $300
you could allways flip it to some one that wants it..they dont make em any more
sounds like some one want 413 heads
