Fran, the 4.400 block was available in 1970-71 as a linered block that could be a 430, 465, or 495 cubic inch engine depending on the stroke combination. The 390 alloy, (no liners,) came along in 1972-73, to make a 430, 495, and the 510 cubic inch engine using a combination of bore/strokes. So you are correct, the 495 could be had, with or without, liners. The pistons for the "390" block were different with the iron plating. TS
