The 440 is an underrated engine in the R/T models. Just as much force as a 426 with the durability of a 383. The only thing is I don’t like that Forza offers only the 440 in the Charger without even offering to swap it out for the 426.

Mopar was the king of big blocks. Most US manufacturers sticked with one halo engine offering for their muscle car, but not MoPar. They had TWO at the same time… the 440 six bubble and the 426 Hemi. a sibling rivalry between the two in a good way.
Take for example Ford : they produced mostly 428s, replacing the 427s but with even worse performance, and the 429 was rather rare and only in a few cars.

Why do you add cars before collecting the datas?
BTW I found this:
http://www.automobile-catalog.com/auta_details1.php
It writes:
375hp at 4600, 654 Nm at 3200, 7.2 liters, V8, n/a, carburator, 16 valves, 10.1 compression ratio, 4 speed manual gearbox. Also shows different mass and dimension datas.
(All the power datas are SAE gross, so in the reality they are lower.)
Sorry sir, but I have a life and I have other things to do besides this website, since this is my favourite I just wanted it to be added, the data I entered for mass and size are directly from wikipedia.
