Wa?  They only offered the 426 hemi back then.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Nah....sounds like he's asking which Hemi motor is best from 1969 for a Charger R/T. The '69 Charger R/T...actually, all '66-'71 Chargers only came with one Hemi choice :scratchchin:

There were many different engines available for the 1969 Charger.  But the only choice on that list that was a "Hemi" was the 426-inch engine.  All the other choices (6-cylinder, 318, both of the 383 options, 440) were "wedge" cylinder head designs. 



The R/T models got either the 426 Hemi or the 440 (wedge). 

Which engine of these two choices is better?  That is debated all the time.  Both engines have certain strong and weak points.  The 426 Hemi was technically more powerful in an ideal situation, but the 440 was more practical for numerous reasons.
