Yes, those 440s tend to pull like a freight train too, right from idle.
Wasn't going to mention it, but with all the posts regarding old American
steel, I'm going to throw out there that I have pretty much decided to sell
my '68 Coronet 500 two door coupe.
She was my first car - had 'er since I was 16 (c. 20 years). Arizona car.
The 500 was a luxury option, but I turned it into a street machine. Have the
original trim.
Replace the original 383 with a 440 which I had completely rebuilt (forged
pistons, roller rockers, stellite valve seats, etc. etc. Rebuilt tranny and
suspension, etc. Front disc.
Won't go into too much detail, I know it's way Off Topic. Would be seeking
around $10k - otherwise may just keep 'er in the family.

Although I liked the big Buicks I was more partial to the late 60's early
70's Chryslers. My ideal pimpmobile was a 69 Chrysler Imperial my
grandfather had. Nothing but yards of chrome, leather and a big block 440
that sounded like a freight train when you floored it
