What was the horsepower and torque rating for 1977 Chrysler 440 engine?

The horsepower and torque ratings for the 1977 Chrysler 440 engine varied depending on the specific application and carburetor/induction system used. There wasn't one single rating. You'll find different figures depending on the source and the specific model of car it was installed in.

However, generally speaking, a 1977 Chrysler 440 would have been in the range of 225-230 horsepower and 370-380 lb-ft of torque. Keep in mind that these are net horsepower figures, reflecting the power measured at the crankshaft after accessories are considered, as mandated by SAE standards of the time. Gross horsepower ratings, which were common before this, would have been considerably higher.

To get a precise number, you'd need to specify the exact model of vehicle the 440 was in (e.g., a Road Runner, a New Yorker, etc.) and possibly even its trim level as options could affect output slightly.
