[admin]

Found on Craigslist listed as a 1970, but I changed the post subject line here so it reads 1971

Original craigslist ad reads as follows,

STARTS EASY, RUNS GOOD.

OK, Who has seen a 440R in one of these before?

Not me!

You mean a 440RX in action. Big difference!

[obj1]

Yep your right pararailer! Dumb mistake. Should never post anything from the cabin at night during maple syrup season!

[pararailer]

Ha! That maple syrup season will get ya!
A 440R is just a sa2440 fan motor with no fan. From what I know, they have a little more power because they dont turn a fan belt . thats it. A fan sa2440 has 35hp and a 440r has 40hp. Does that sound right? I think a 440C fan motor has 40 hp also.
Now a 440RX is a total different beast with 95 hp from what ive been told.

Admin, I think someone put that engine in there themself. I dont think it came that way.
1500 bucks is too much money for that thing. I believe the engine alone, if its good to go, would be worth about 800 bucks tho. (Thats just my opinion) That motor looks iffy. The rest of the sled aint worth all that much.
But its still REALLY COOL!! That thing would be faster than mine!
Like the muffler action. Take the head light out!

Be cool to take an old 71 super hood and slice it right down the center to make it narrow. That engine came in many 71 super stingers.

to cut the hood you'll need the 71 super stinger HOOD sawzall blades!
