Oh, me too. I'm actually a Mopar guy at heart but don't have any at the moment.

I've had:

73 Challenger w/440
65 Coronet w/413
72 Dart w/318
74 Dart w/318

and currently have a 440 short block still sitting in the garage.

I've actually become a Jeeper lately.

Looks like the driveshaft is a bit too short.
The 440 is a good engine. My 69 RoadRunner that I used to have but sold when I was young and dumb , ran great. 3 Holley 2bbls and a Hemi 4 speed with 3.91 gears. Good times.

440 in an F-150, now why didn't I think of that? Bet he has no problems getting that thing to move out of its own way.

Maybe could have saved a few bucks on the mandatory chrome valve covers, and bought some gaskets, and seals to plug up all the leaks. Man that thing has more oil on the outside of the engine, and trans than the inside. Guess those parts won't rust that way.
