What is a 440 Magnum engine?
We all know the 440 big-block is the largest displacement V-8 engine built by Chrysler, and when it comes to a combination of torque, power, and drivability, the 440 ranks as one of the best engines ever built.
How do you tell a 440 from a 400?
440 has the engine I.D. codes stamped on a machined flat surface (about 3/4″ x 2″) located in front of the intke manifold towards the dirver’s side of the car on the block. The 383/400 has this pad located just in front of the driver’s side cylinder head where the head bolts to the block. Hope this helps.
What’s the difference between a 383 and a 440?
The major difference between these two Mopar legends is the deck height of the block: 9.98-inch for the 383 and 10.725-inch for the 440.

Is a 440 big block a Hemi?
Chrysler then raised the height of the B block (hence the ‘RB’ or ‘raised block’ designation) to create its high performance ‘wedge’ motors (named, like the hemi, after the shape of their combustion chambers). Although not as exotic or as rare as the 426 cubic inch Hemi engine, the 440 was a force to be reckoned with.
Was there a 440 Hemi?
The rarest is the Hemi-powered Coronet 440 convertible (440 was the trim level not the engine). Only six were built.
Is a 383 and a 440 the same block?
For too many years, the Mopar 383 has been ignored by car crafters blinded by the extra cubes of its cousin, the 440 wedge. The major difference between these two Mopar legends is the deck height of the block: 9.98-inch for the 383 and 10.725-inch for the 440.
Are 383 and 440 distributors the same?
The cylinder bank portion of the 440 block is longer than the B 383 engine so the top of cylinder banks becomes a further distance across. That’s why the 440 intake is a little wider and distributor from the 383 isn’t long enough.
How much HP can a stock 440 block handle?

Can you put Hemi heads on a 440?
But Max emphasized that the layman answer is no, the Hemi heads will not fit a stock 440 block. The Stage V conversion kits costs $4,000, but you’ll need lots more to finish it up including 440 block work, new rods, KB stroker crank, pistons, etc.
