Just picked up a Superbird 440 for my Superbird

[hemi68charger]

Whew, what a long day yesterday... Went to an old-time wreaking yard to see what's out there... Not much for this day.. But, thanks to my friend Mark Melde, I was able to bring home a 440 for my Superbird that ACTUALLY came out of another Superbird. It is my understanding the Bird was totalled back in the day... So, if I am to replace the 440, what better scenario than putting a Superbird 440 back in it.... It was great catching up with Mark...

 when your matching # motor is MIA

 a 440 from another  superbird  ,    don't get any better than that  

Good stuff AB Troy

I'm in the same boat, I killed the original 440 but pulled a replacement out of an original RT charger that had the matching number motor in it-car was toast, motor and trans and a few trim pieces was all I could salvage.  If I can't have the matching motor, at least I can say its an original charger r/t 440 motor.  Mine only had 69k original miles when I pulled it.  Now I don't want to rebuild it, just plan on leaving it stock.   Its as close as I could get to an original motor, been slapping myself for years for tossing the original because I didn't want to store it, didn't know then that I'd have storage available for 40 years for free.

Troy, the car is not in the club database.

161590 is an EV2, black bench auto.
161592 is an FJ5, black bench, auto.

161591 was apparently a 440 4bbl - 727 FJ5 car.. No clue about the interior, but I can ask my friend who parted it out decades ago........

I did.. There were a group of guys that torn into it....... The motor was taken by my friend....... I'll ask about the wing and nose......... , scoops, deflectors, etc.......

I remember it did have a nose and a wing, and most of the interior.  I seem to remember it was parted for several reasons, one of which was no title.  This was 1981.
