SOLD '67 Chrysler / Imperial 440 RB V8. This was the first year for the forged crankshaft, and the only year that the small (73 cc) combustion chamber head was used, and the heads on the Imperial are essentially the #915 HP head once you install a larger exhaust valve. I have had this engine stored inside, and was going to use it for an older Imperial project that has changed course. I ran & drove this car before the engine was pulled and it is a sweetheart. 69k miles, never opened up (other than valve cover gaskets & valve cover paint), runs like a top. Complete from the original AFB carburetor to the oil pan, and from fan to flex plate. It has been in storage, so plan on a carb rebuild if you go that direction. Includes alternator, power steering pump, both exhaust manifolds, valve covers, etc. Stored inside always & includes (and is currently mounted on) a Summit Racing engine cradle. I can't remember if the engine mounts are still on it or not. (Also included, but not pictured, is a low mileage 727 automatic with torque converter that was pulled from an RV. I never saw this in action, so I treat it as a buildable core) I can strap to a pallet & arrange shipping, or can deliver locally within reason for a negotiable cost (diesel, beer, fritos). I am also going to the GNRS in January 2020, so I could work with someone in SoCal if paid in advance. Basic factory Specs: Displacement: 440 cubic inches Bore and Stroke: 4.32 x 3.75 inches Compression ratio: 10.10:1 Brake horsepower: 350 at 4,400 r.p.m
