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.

Now THATS funny,,, Greg,, nice pull.
I want to thank all you guys for jumping in. I was pretty sure I had this one right, but I've got more "bullets in my belt", now,, besides, I even went as far as to check out the NHRA classification guide and you all know what I didn't find in there.
I'm going to send these yahoos a link to our thread here, then sit back and enjoy the ride. I've known them all since the '60s when we were in school, so this is just the latest round in our always evolving life story, where they've gotten me plenty of times.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Danny maybe tell them to join in on the fun here, the more the merrier...and I also see this in your future...waffles & breakfast sausages.

You know, this is a lot like the argument I've had several times with Chevy guys that think 1957 Chevy's came with a 327.

Jim,

They did, all those guys that were winning those Junior Stock Classes
from 1966 thru 1969 were running 327's in their 1957 cars, while claiming they were 283's.
