Hmm... located in Regina and the car is painted blue. I wonder if it's an old RCMP police car?

[ChiTownJohn]

Geez, w/ friggin gas it cost me triple to get it back here compared to the price, or at least at this point. of course im not sure where that town is in canada, big place ya got up there eh?

[dugalblues]

The car actually looks like a 1977 Monaco ?? Same car used as the goon car in Batman movie. Anyone wanting a 74 Dodge engine may want to check the block serial numbers first.

Cheers dugal

Regina is in the very south part of Saskatchewan, fairly close to the US border. According to Google it's 1,184 mi from Chicago, which is about 22 hours 50 mins of driving, and that's just one direction.

Phew! oh jeez, thank god its not 1200 miles one way!

The seller claims a lot of bull in his post about how police cars were built. Plus:

"ebay b/s" said:

"The motor runs very nice with TONS of power! Please note it does needs a distributor and carburator. The transmission works great."

Sounds like he tested it but he did not say what decade that was in. And its by far not just the distributor and carb missing. By far!

Its not like you cant have these motors in perfectly remaned condition anymore nowadays. This is maybe a diamond in the rough but definitely overpriced.

hey guys, my buddy has quite the little jewle someone might want. Its a 440 out of a 75 monaco police car. The date on the block is 74, but was in a 75. Driver side engine "ear mount" needs to be welded (shouldnt be to hard to weld) and engine is stuck. Needs a rebuild.... but is correct cop engine and is complete minus carb, and would make any monaco a true bluesmobile. anyome interested? will get pics when i see him next..

would use it for mine, but already got some goodys for the small block, and ive already got a big block car.

could get it from him for $200

Nice! It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant.

I just noticed another 440 over at the derby site. Not a cop motor.

The 74 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham I picked up recently has a 440 in it (not a police issue engine) - just hoping to eventually transplant into a Monaco with a good body. Good to know they are still out there.

I agree. Some potential deals to be found ...

Dood...got the 440...gotta have the pin!

Yep...there's no shortage of the RB's out there..seems like every motor home in the 70's came with one...

Don't forget if you're buying one to rebuild that the later blocks can be thin-wall castings that will only go about .020 overbore. '72 and earlier blocks are the preferred ones b/c they have the good cranks and thicker cylinder walls. Of course, if you're buying one that is running with no plans on a rebuild then the later ones will work just fine.

[Steam McQueen]

Getting a little pricier but it would sure go good with that pin! It's in Tulsa for $1,950.

Sweet
Even though there' some parts missing on it. (water pump i.e.)

Question to me is, why did he pull it and if it's still nice, why didn't he restore it, as it is a quite rare engine...

Hey Zac! Did your bud ever sell that cop motor? That would be a pretty sweet replacement for a civilian 360.
I guess I'm guilty of threadjacking here, hahaa. Well, the Bluesmobile forums needed a '440 for sale' thread and here be it. There seems to be some fair prices on 440's floating around. Granted, they're not all complete ... some good comparisons though.
