Re: ’62 Cop Car?

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 1962 patrol cars could technically get any motor offered, from a slant 6 to a big block. The only 413 in a 1962 B body would be the max engine, which, while cool, would not be practical in a daily driven cop car. So, the standard engine was a slant 6 or 2 bbl. 318; optional engine 318 260 hp 4 bbl. or 305 hp 361 4bbl. 

No 440's were made in 1962, as mentioned by another member. 

Thanks,
Gary H.

>I attended a local car show last night were I saw a (very rough) ’62 Dodge 4-door sedan with the typical black body with white roof and doors. Other than a red bubble gum machine on the roof, there was no lettering or markings on the car. All that aside though, the owner had only purchased the car a few days prior and admitted that he thought the 440 motor under the hood was not the original motor but being a cop car, it should have had a 440 in it as originally built. Me, not being quite sure, I felt I was in no position to question him on that point. 
>But now I need to know…for 1962, wouldn’t a police car have “at best” been equipped with a 413 motor? And the 440 came on the scene when?
