Not very common but they did exist. I had a 383 with a two barrel on it. Mopar probably made millions of 2bbl big blocks, but they didn't build 2bbl 440's for passenger cars and trucks. I have been told that 2bbl RB 383's and 440's were built for irrigation pumps and other industrial applications so one of those manifolds could have found it's way onto the 440 in this rv....410Views0likes0CommentsRe: How many of us are there?

Also, what other information can I get off this VIN? I am sorry to ask, but I just can't bear going through all these pages looking for the "chart" someone was kind enough to post. What I DO know is: (a) Manufacturered 9/76 (b) Dodge 440 with a 4 bbl carb...though it appears that it was converted from a Holley 2 bbl carb at one time. I have a receipt for both, including one indicating labor for converting from 2-bbl to 4-bbl Carter Looking at the above VIN, I my best GUESS is that though manufacturered 9/76, it is a 1977 model...?? FYI, 440's never came with a 2bbl only a 4bbl carb.333Views0likes0Comments
