Engine ID
Sorry this may not be a ford engine but its in my ford truck!
im having a tough time identifying this
i think it may be a Mopar but im not sure.
ideally im trying to know what repair manual to buy for it.
thank in advance for help
-Kurt
the transmission its a a727b with these numbers 6A162543
the engine is a 4006630-44-9 with these numbers 7-72-75 i think i copied the number wrong if this is a date code it maybe 7-12-75
the header says 440 with a holly carb on top and the valve covers say erson
oil spout is in the way of any other letters.
couple of pictures of the engine of it here (not so good)

I googled 1975 Mopar 440 engine. Mopar casting site selected. It listed your engine as 1975-78 440. Casting number engine left side, partial vin number on engine right side. Another site said only police cars had the 440 in 1975.

thanks for your help guys i ordered my repair manual for the engine.
The steering column is dodge doh!
i really over looked some of the key items on this one. i can see the engine and tranny being over looked because im not familiar with the numbers but the steering column says dodge. ..geeeeeez! im an idiot.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7
it is what it is...it is what it is..
ok im better now.
i tried the choke to see if it was hooked up to the engine .. It was and made all the difference starting it. It kind of sounds better every time i start it.
There may be a turn in the road..
You guys havnt totally ripped on me yet so im thinking this is not the first time youve heard of this happening.
my list grows
one cab (just grind out the rust for now)
one 59 ish ford engine (to make it authentic) next two years of bonus checks pre spent
one matching transmission ( to seal the deal - another nail in the coffin)
Well like i told my wife we need a truck i didnt say it was going to be a new Ford. or.. all Ford
it started at $1500 the rest is just normal maintenance Right!!.

If the 440 is in your truck and runs well you might not want to switch to a ford after you drive it. I have a 440 in a old car and makes something a real screamer. The 440 and trans combo are almost bullet proof.
