Had numerous chargers 68-70 but all are gone now . They got real expensive starting mid-summer 1989 and I turned them into land . BEST thing I ever did investment wise as land was real cheap then . Anywayz I had the following - 2 68 440's , 3 68 426's , 1 69 440 , 1 69 426 , 2 69 charger 500's with 440's , 1 69 charger 500 426 , 1 70 with 440 and 1 70 with 440-6 . Easy to tell the original configuration of these as all 68-70 charger RT's have XS29 as the first 4 of the VIN . 69 charger 500's are like daytonas with the VIN starting XX29 . Fifth digit tells motor size 68-69 426 is J and 440 is L . 1970 is U for 440 4bbl , V for 440-6 and R for 426 . I personally liked the 426 ones as a good order 426 in stock form runs cool , is decent on gas and can hold it's own in stoplight grand prix's . Little bit of a nuisance on 68-69's with the mechanical lifters needing setting from time to time . 1970 switched to hydraulics and that ended that chore . Sadly it also took the HEMI sound away !!! Ever heard a stock 66-69 426 running down the road ? With the huge rockers and loose settings they sound like a giant sewing machine . Well I liked it anyway . The 440 ones are pretty low maintenance and run-perform good but lack the shock factor when you open the hood . Only a boss 429 mustang has the wow factor of a 426 . I actually had that car until 2006 but it too is also gone . Good luck and prices are definitely down from a few years ago . If you go with a 426 one do your homework on what is right-wrong as some of the parts are an expensive pain to find and quite a few junkers got resurrected with old ex-drag motor parts of questionable quality .
