But what about the opposite? A k-code not in a wagon (69 Polara/Monaco)?
Hey Alan, i'm sure as you know you can never say 'never' with Chrysler Corporation, after all, only Chrysler would build a four door Plymouth Fury in 71 that you could order a Gran Coupe option on, complete with Gran coupe emblems! according to the 69 Dodge sales literature, if you ordered a 440 (again, in 1969), it automatically came as a 440 Magnum in any Polara or Monaco, but not including any Polara or Monaco wagons, which received the standard cam (E85) 440 with dual exhaust and dual snorkle air cleaner. I see a lot of questions on here about which engines were available in which cars for a given year, and just thought i'd refer anyone who wants to learn to a great website that has most of the factory literature available to look at for free.
http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/library.shtml. The basic breakdown of factory 440's for 69 and 70 full size cars is: 440 standard cam, single exhaust/ single snorkle air cleaner ( code E85), standard on Chrysler 300, New Yorker and Imperial, rated at 350 HP and 480 FtLbs of torque. This 440 was standard on these cars for 69 and 70. VIN Code K in 69, T in 70. I'm going to limit this to just these two years as that's what people have been asking about. 440 standard cam, dual exhaust, dual snorkle air cleaner, also code E85, also still rated at 350/480, VIN Code K in 69, T in 70, is sometimes referred to as the "station wagon" 440, because this is the 440 that you got when you ordered one in a wagon, Plymouth, Dodge and Chrysler. This also became the 440 you got in 1970 Plymouth and Dodge full size cars, ("replacing" the newly non available 440 HP's in Plymouth and Dodge full size only, except fleet/ police). This engine is also the standard engine for the 1970 Plymouth Sport Fury GT. 440 standard cam, dual exhaust, dual snorkle air cleaner, with higher rate dual valve springs, rated at 360 HP, available only in fleet vehicles( police, etc.) 440 HP, 375 HP, code L in 69, Code U in 70, (E86), is the 440 you got when ordered in a 69 plymouth or dodge full size non wagon. Was available in both 69 and 70 as an option on all Chryslers, standard on the 70 300 Hurst. Also of course available on fleet/ police vehicles. Not available from the factory on 69 or 70 Imperials, interestingly, 68 was the only year you could have ordered anything optional on an Imperial 440, as the 440 "Dual", with, you guessed it, dual snorkle air cleaner and exhaust, but still the standard cam. This was in response to the new Cadillac 472 for 68, rated at 375 HP, and the new mid-year avaiable Lincoln 460, rated at 365. Imperial did rate the 68 440 "dual" at 360 HP. 440 six barrel, 390 HP, V code, available only on the 1970 Plymouth Sport Fury GT, as an option. Just some fun facts about 69/70 440's, with a little 68 thrown in! lots to read, but hope it might answer some questions, Scott.
