I think its a 440 top end? Bore looks untouched but does have some rust that needs cleaned up. you get everything seen in this pic minus torq wrench. I also have the head bolts. Everything is useable. $50+ shipping

More than likely that's a 440 , for sure that is a 440 manifold and exhaust pipe , the dead giveaway is the two extra head studs , those two extra head studs were only used on older model 440's with Aluminum cylinders.

Aluminum cylinder ? , if it is it's defiantly a 440 , I don't know of any 550's that ever had the additional head studs , if you look at a 550 head the place for the hole is there but it's not drilled out .

We used to take the Aluminum 440 cylinders , press the sleeves out then bore the cylinder to accept new 550 sleeves , you had to drill out the two extra holes in the 550 head for the extra head studs , my first 550 was that way till I got the 550 reed motor put in it .

Definitely looks more like a 440 to me just based on the case studs to the sleeve distance. Piston port 550s do not have much material between the studs and the sleeve.

If that cylinder is Aluminum and I believe that it is , I may be interested , I have an itch to build another 550 like I stated earlier , punch it out and install 550 sleeves , God only knows why .

I believe it is an Aluminum cyl. All yours if you want it!

Let me make sure I don't already have one first , if I don't yeah I will take it . Yes I do actually have so much stuff that I am not sure on this one lol .

I don't want the head, pipe or intake manifold though , none of that is of any use to me.
