Didn't say it was a Super Bee. Generic photo.
It was in a Lime Green Mopar something. It was a junker so he pulled the drive train back out and sent the carcass bye-bye.

Ok, that explains why the motor was for sale. Was he selling the transmission too?

His building has another 20 or so big blocks, uncountable number of transmissions, and about a gazillion tons of MOPAR parts.
He's a well known racer who has an alky slingshot that runs mid-sevens around the south east.
The engine I bought just happened to be in front of the pile and in the way so it was an easy way for him to make a quick 400 bucks after he saw my want ad on CL.
Here he is making a run:
When I arrived to pick it up, he had the engine on a cherry picker all lined up for me to drive under it, a 3/4" breaker bar with a 1 1/4" socket with it so I could see that it spun freely, a valve cover off, and a hole punched in the valley pan so I could inspect the galley. One hell of a nice guy.
Kept asking me as my eyes are darting all over the place, "Anything you need? See anything you want? I need to clean this place out."

Is the green 440 stock....or does it have any machine work and/or goodies inside?

Totally stock as pulled from the RV. Never been touched.
It's numbers matching and "never been messed with"
Great......I like unmolested motors.
Yea, you don't want it after I'm done with it that's for sure.
