Danny,,,,

They owe you a breakfast, so eat light the night before.

A 440 was never installed in a factory 1970 and later A-Body.

The 440 was available in the Mr. Norms 1968 GSS Dart, but only
50 or so were available thru Grand Spaulding Dodge, or affiliated
Dealerships.

And '6' 1968 440 GTS Darts were specially built for 'designated racers only'
prior to the 1968 NHRA Winternationals.

* Dick Landy
* Charlie Allen (Saddleback Dodge)
* Ron Mancini (Greater Detroit Dodge Dealers)
* Los Angeles and Orange County Dodge Dealers (California)
* Friedman Motors (Des Moines, Iowa)
* Rockville Center Dodge (Rockville Center, New York)

The 'only' regular production 440 'Super Commando' came through in the,,,,, 1969 Dart 440 GTS and 440 'Cuda.
