Ken,

You have a 1972 440 - Compression is 8.1, and almost every one in 72
came with a Holly 600
4150 - 4160 series carb like you have. It should have 346 heads. Good
motor, put a cam, 
manifold and larger Holly, and she should be good to go.

Hi,
Can someone please help me ID the 440 I just got this weekend.

The data pad says:
First line: H440
Second line: 3   17

The VIN area above the oil pan says: 2C243112

And the casting number on the side of the block says: 2536430-9

I figured from the H440 that it is a 1972 440, but I was hoping to know
if it's a decent engine and what the CR and HP for it were.  Also, would
like to know what car it came in.

Finally, the engine came with what looks like a factory installed Holley
carb.  The numbers on the carb were:  3161 and List-6160-1.  Would this
be a higher HP engine with a Holley carb.  I though they usually used
the Thermoquad on the newer 440s? 

Thanks for the help,
Ken
