Earlier pages on this site had info on using the VIN for identification. Other than that you can check the right side of the block. It should have the motor designation cast into the block.

Me too! Me too! 1976 Tioga with a 360. I have only had it two weeks and love it. I think someone needs to set up a website or maybe a seperate forum here to share info.

Country people may not polish their boots often but they don't polish anyone else's either.

You probably have a rolled-over or broken rubber seal in the front clutch pack. Pull the trans pan and look what is in the bottom of the pan.

As I recall, look at the harmonic balancer: the regular 440 is neutral-balanced. The 440-3 is externally-balanced, having the same heavy bottom-end parts as the 440 6-pack.

Thanks...

Just in case anyone is planning tire replacement from 8.00 x 16.5 on a class C to the slightly larger 8.75 x 16.5. I did it a couple weeks ago and have been happy with the results... No clearance issues and the slighty taller height helped a little with my low geared rig.. I think this has already been on a thread here, but thought I'd share ;-)

Is there some thing that would show if it is a big 440, I had to change my spark plus and and to take them back there were to small, like a 1/2 inch, now I have the right ones, that look longer like an inch

I seem to recall, the "peanut" plugs were used on the HD engines. You have a 440-3. [emoticon]

Looking to see if anyone out there has a Xplorer class C rv from the 70's, wanting to see how many are still in use today, don't see very much of these high quality fiberglass rv's any more, I just might have the only one in Vegas have never seen any at all here.
