E code 440 HP complete value
 

I have a complete E code 440 HP engine that I'm debating on selling. The engine was removed from a wrecked Mopar in the early 80's and sat since. The engine isn't stuck and doesn't appear to have been disassembled although I can't guarantee the disassembly part. The power steering pulley is bent but no other obvious damage other than a broken manifold bolt. It did come with a 727 automatic transmission as well but as memory serves me it has 72 or 73 date on the housing. I'm a GM guy but had plans on buying a 70 Dart for the engine but those plans have vanished due to a divorce. Thanks in advance.

It seems to be different across the country, around here its 200-500 for a core depending on the heads and crank

Really? I used to get $800-$1000 for a complete HP440 with correct intake and exhaust manifolds, and people told me I was cheap on them. That was several years ago, though...

Wow $200 to $500? I'd use it as a boat anchor before giving it away but thanks for the opinion. I guess it's really true that Mopar pieces aren't as rare or expensive as the 60-70 era GM stuff.

Like I said it varies with location, one state to the west and its worth more. If it is date correct for a lift off hood car you would do better. I just bought a 69 HP 440 standard bore steel crank 906 heads complete less carb with 727 trans for $200 off craigslist. I did have to drive to a small town to land that kind of deal. Put it on e-bay if your willing to ship and you will do better yet. Sign of the times!

I just looked around on moparts and ebay and they vary from $400-1200 several at $800 see which of them sell. Cores don't go for much around here so my veiw is a bit off.

Also keep in mind the wives tale of an HP block being better was debunked not long ago. All 440 blocks were created equal, the E designated some better internals is all, so the racers chasing E blocks are fewer in numbers.

Thanks for the input I really appreciate your opinion .

I'm about to pick up another 440, intake to pan if the guy will return my call. Nothing like what you have but it is an E block with a cast crank(Oh well that will have to go)and I'm not sure which heads yet $350. Have you tried to market yours yet?

No I haven't posted the engine for sale yet but it must go soon due to a lack of storage space.
