Now, a 440 Magnum Bee? THAT's a FREAK! </div></div>

Why would the 440 Magnum be any more or less of a freak than the 6-pack? 26 440 Magnums were built and 30 6 Pack 4spd Bee's were built. I would say thats apples to apples. </div></div>

Wouldn't the difference be that the Six Pack was &quot;officially&quot; available, the four barrel engine was not? </div></div>

5 motors available on the 71 bee.

Well, yeah, I'm aware that they built them. IIRC, the 71 Dodge order guide shows clearly &quot;opt. Super Bee&quot; under the 340 Mag., 440 Six Pack, and 426 Hemi. Under 440 Magnum, it says &quot;Standard R/T, opt. S.E.&quot;, with no mention of the Super Bee.

Additionally, I can't recall ever seeing any advertising mention the 440-4, nor can I recall ever seeing a road test of one, while both exist for the Six Pack and Hemi powered variants.

To me, that adds up to &quot;not officially available.&quot;
