you have a, chry-dodge-ply, RB, 66-67 440. the first two years for the 440. both stock are CR 10:1. all 440 are 4bbl, the first two years use a carter AFB. the 67 has a air valve between the rear throttle plates and the venture, highly soot after. a lot like the 413, from 1959 to 1965. the 66 has smaller exhaust valve, than the 67. should have 440 cast in the block. the 440 and 413 have stroke of 3.75. 440 has a bore of 4.32. next to the distributor is a flat spot with stamps showing the engine. the 440 has a different motor mount tabs on the left front side than a 413, to put 440 where a 413 is needs a modded bracket. that is all have off the top of my head.

the number 10-14-66 means it is a 67 block. being cast late in the year 1966 it didnt have time to season outside, and get machined, to get put in a 1966 car.
