Maybe I'm off base on this, but I've always thought the 426 wedge was a bored out 413. If that is true, how far out would you have to bore out a 413 to make it a 426? Mine is bored .030" over so I know my cubic inch displacement is more than 413 in my G. I sense a math lesson in the works here.

It appears the 413 (and 383 in lesser Chryslers) was used right up through 1965 and was then replaced by the 440 in 1966. Dodges and Plymouths appear to show 426 availability starting in 1963. There is also the anomaly of the 413 in the Dodge 880, with was really a version of Chrysler underneath that Dodge sheetmetal.

I can't think of the name.....might even be a government agency. I'm sure George or Gil can tell me the name. I can't find it but I am 99% sure I have a book from Chrysler of the 62 parts and pieces and I remember, that the book shows the 300H could have had the 413 engine or the 426. I am 99% sure no H's ever got the 426. It was just a situation that by listing the 426 in the book, Chrysler could have used that engine if they wanted to.

I am reading a book titled simply "Chrysler" by Dennis Adler published in 2000. It is supposed to be an overview of the history of Chrysler Corp. cars, but not an encyclopedia of every car or its options. However when it comes to the description of the 300's, it has the following to say about the 300H: "The 300H came equipped with a 380 horsepower, 413-cubic inched V-8, or an optional 426 that could be ordered in 373-, 385-, 413-, or 421-horsepower versions!" Can someone more knowledgeable enlighten me as to all these combinations of 426 engines?
