Chrysler corporation never made a 440 'HEMI'. The 440 started being produced in 1966 and only had a 'wedge' shaped chamber configuration as most engines of the time also did. The (second generation) HEMI was only produced in a 426 cubic inch configuration, from 1964 through 1971. They produced about 11,000 of these special engines during this period The term HEMI stands for hemispherical shaped combustion chambers. The 426 HEMI should not be confused with the 426 wedge which was produced from 1963-1966.

How do you tell if a real 1968 dodge coronet rt?

look at the serial number is the only way. If you look at the VIN Tag on the drivers side dash cap, the first 4 letters/numbers should be WS23 for a Coronet R/T 2-Door Hardtop or WS27 for a Coronet R/T 2-Door Convertible. The "W" stands for Dodge Coronet Model and the "S" for Sports Line (R/T). Standard engine would be a 440 cid with the 426 cid Hemi, as the only option. This could be verified on the VIN tag as well as the fifth letter, the letter "L" for the 440 and the letter "J" for the 426 Hemi.
