The thing I would be concerned about would be the way it was stored, hopefully good antifreeze, and if it turns free.
I bought a 413 and was told it ran when pulled. It looked good inside and out but when I had the machine shop clean and magnaflux it, it had cracks around every frost plug. Arrrrg!
Just the chance you take when buying a fifty year old engine.
Good luck to you, it's the same block I'm running in the '62 Dodge.

Just curious, what's the assembly date on the front pad ?

When get home I'll look on my original 67 Charger window sticker to see if its chrome valve covers were optional or std.
The chrome valve covers are standard on 1967 VIN code L 440HP Chargers, Coronet R/T and GTX.
They are not an option.
A 67 GTX window sticker makes no mention of chrome valve covers, I just looked at one.
It says the engine in the standard features, it is second to last then bucket seats are last. Right below that is the first line with a sales code has 83 “super commando 440 CID engine 4 bbl”

I don't think the OP is disagreeing with anything, I think he asked if they added value to the 67 engine.
The last line you typed I’d what I disagreed with. The first part is right. Those 440 magnum Chargers definitely had the chrome vale covers

Perfect find for your car.
Get it checked out, replace what needs replacing. Have fun.

I guess I should have wrote that ‘I didn’t know if it carried over to Charger’. R/T & GTX I’m good with, Chargers not so much. Looks like a 67 440 Charger is a very low production number.
I guess I was basing my statement on the chrome valve cover option based on a Mopar commercial for 67 Coronets and Chargers if you upgrade to the 440 engine. Anyways, they were available for RTs, GTXs, AND Chargers. I could see they would be standard when you took the upgrade to the 440 HP. But what is such an engine worth?

If you want a "correct" 440 for your Charger, that one is worth what you and the seller say it's worth.
I'll add, if that is what you want, get it! They aren't that common, and they sure aren't making any more.

The engine is worth whatever the seller can get, or the buyer wants to pay for it. And what comes with it as others have posted. Here a steel crank 440 could go for 600.00- 700.00 US depending on year or regular or HP. If I put my 68 Chrysler 300 for sale, 440,350 hp I would probably start at 4000.00 Canadian.

They made 528 67 440 auto Chargers.
Yeah, my friend and I are trying to come up with a fair price for his engine. Thought I would ask here.
How many where HPs?

All of them... No LP 440 in a B body.... Those were only used in C bodies & Imperials...
That is what I thought due to the engine codes for the fender tags.
