1978 Dodge Sportsman RV Mike Remar 6-28-08  
I am going to do a tune up on my friends RV and I need to know what motor is in it. It's a 1978 Dodge Sportsman but the tags are completely gone. How do I know what size motor is in it? The local auto parts store can't seem to tell me.
Re: 1978 Dodge Sportsman RV John P. Newman 6-28-08  
Had a 79 Pace Arrow on a Dodge D50 chassis, the engine was a Dodge 440-3.

My manual is now gone and I cannot remember where to look on the engine to determine for sure which engine is installed. Maybe someone else has better information.

Good luck with the tune up,
John

Crawl under---look on block---it's either a 360--or 440
the vin---on the door jam will help at parts place--

What does the 3 mean after the 440?
Thanks
Re: 1978 Dodge Sportsman RV John P. Newman 6-30-08  
My understanding is that the -3 indicates a change in the route of the engine coolant. I think there is an extra passage for the coolant that routes the coolant through passages in the intake manifold. Therefore, the installation of another 440 intake manifold (without the passage) could cause overheating and failure of the engine.
