Usually there are either one or two digits before the displacement stamped on the id pad at the front of the engine.
S 440 is odd. One digit like that is usually the year code. But if it was this would be a 1962 engine!
However if they had a stock of warrenty engines would they stamp a year code?
So assuming this is actually the second digit then "S" will be for "Special" and warrenty engines were stamped like that according to my books.
"6-25-2" will usually mean 2nd engine built June 25th But what year?
