its a 73-78 motor. I need a better pic of the balancer though, from the side of it. At first glance it looked like a forged balancer.

[moparstuart]

do i need different motor mount brackets

Allmost all of the truck engines came with forged cranks and some had 6-pack rods installed from the factory. 

Oil pan is a truck rear sump and the engine brackets are truck as well....neither will work in a passenger car.

well i guess ill see if it has 6 pack rods when i change the pan, not really a fan of the heavy bastards 

[moparstuart]

so i just wanna do a cheap stock built on this maybe throw a mild cam in it

    do i need better heads ??//

Will be fine with iron heads, but all depends on what your looking to achieve.

Heads will need to be completely redone as it looks like its been sitting quite awhile. Find out how much thats going to cost you, you could easily grab a set of 440source heads, change the locks/retainers (they dont exactly use the best stuff) and youll be better off than with those iron heads.

It looks like the VIN is 2C indicating it came out of a 72 fullsize car.
The pad looks like is says H440 also indicating a 72.

I do like the OP's enthusiasm.  Good luck.

so do they work and flow well enought for a stock 69 charger 440 ?  i dont need anything radical or high flow just a good solid stock motor with a slight lobe is what i'm looking for .

I hadn't heard that term before.  What does that refer too?
