Found a 70 440 HP six pack motor for sale. It was completely rebuilt then was in a fire. Any concerns about it other than rebuilding it again or should I run and find another one?

Was it a fire that just burned the wires up in the engine compartment and charred the paint on the hood, or was it a three alarm blaze that took every piece of the car and left a brown heap of metal sitting flat on the ground?

Can you check the VIN sequence on the block so I can check to see if it belongs to a 70 Charger out there.

It was in a explosion and car was totaled in fire. 70 RT six pack. One guy died in the fire. Motor is kind of crispy looking. Hard to read numbers on block. I can see HP 2 on it but that is about it. I'll see if I can read the vin

The 2 just means that the engine was originally assembled on 2nd shift.

Sad... :'(

Ya it is sad. I might be better off looking for another 70 440 HP block. That six pack one is pretty burned

What is the reason you want a 70 440 six pack motor?  Unless you are into the original, numbers stuff, it's just a 440 motor with a different intake.

My 70 charger RT has a 71 440 non HP motor in it now and I just thought I would look for a correct 70 HP motor for it even though it won't be numbers matching. Doesn't need to be a six pack but found this one
