440 V8 HP/Police

[Matthan]

I have a 440 V8 HP/Police & Transimssion. What is this worth?

[SeattleCharger]

Does it run?

[Bob]

Did they make a police package? I didn't think they did.

[Matthan]

no it does not run

[John_Kunkel]

There's nothing unique about a cop engine or trans, the year will determine the value more than a badge. Since it doesn't run it has core value only.

[SeattleCharger]

Since its an hp it should be worth more.  500? 400? for both if somewhat clean (not full of water and rusted out)

[Matthan]

yeah I might want to rebuild (one day) it is is in my shop I got in a deal when I bought my last charger which I am putting a 318 in it.

Round here 1967-1972 440 "HP" engines go for around $1000 for a rebuildable core...This is usually the engines that are complete with "HP" manifolds,  aren't locked up, and might even run. Most times, to buy a 440 "HP" engine, you usually have to buy a whole car and pull the engine out and get rid off the rest...

[SeattleCharger]

oops.  sorry.  guess I didn't realized the value the hp ads to it.   I bought a 72 complete engine for 200 to get the steel crank out of it, which was fine, but the top end was rusted so the block would have needed a sleeve or two from pitted cylinder walls

I used a 440 out of a 72 highway  patrol car for a Charger once.

Steel crank, six pack rods and  4 gear planetarys sets in the trans.  This was 30 years ago when the six pack rods where a hot item. Worked well put 60k miles on it after the build.

I would guess $500 for both if the crank is free
