Pictures look rough but interior seems good, the price is right and the description is promising.

I didn't think they ever even made a 2bbl intake for a 440.

I've never seen a 2 bbl 440 intake. If it is a 2 bbl I bet the engine is a 400.

There is a pic of the emissions sticker that IDs it as a 440. If it has a 2-barrel then maybe it had an engine swap. Or perhaps it is a 4-barrel and he just doesn't realize.

Bingo!!!!!!!!

Or somebody did a motor swap to a 400 2bbl over the years and this guy can't tell the difference.

No 440 2 bbl intakes ever. If its a 2bbl its a 383 or 400 B motor.

Most likely a 400.

Or swapped in a 2bbl from a truck 413...

No. Not really.

Here's the sticker:

Means nothing. Only confirms what it was...

Which is what I said.

Could have one of those cheesy 2-barrel-carb to 4-barrel intake adapters. Unlikely, since it's a Californai car and they are very anal when it comes to smog.

Just texted the guy. Rather than answering my question, he referred me to the web page he lists in his ad. This picture indicates it's a 4-barrel.
