Mark and all: I would highly recommend the book by Don Taylor titled "Big Block Mopar Engines": http://www.amazon.com/Big-block-mopar-engines-Don-Taylor/dp/1557881901/ref=n tt_at_ep_dpi_3 There is a preview of the book at: http://books.google.com/books?id=0LYGoEVMb2MC <http://books.google.com/books?id=0LYGoEVMb2MC&dq=Big-block+mopar+engines&pr intsec=frontcover&source=bl&ots=NU2_klSWNp&sig=dOpzN4Yxh7RrZjXDbnbKIuTZqO4&h l=en&ei=nMOOSr3xHom6swPc7dXnCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9#v=onep age&q=&f=false> &dq=Big-block+mopar+engines&printsec=frontcover&source=bl&ots=NU2_klSWNp&sig =dOpzN4Yxh7RrZjXDbnbKIuTZqO4&hl=en&ei=nMOOSr3xHom6swPc7dXnCQ&sa=X&oi=book_re sult&ct=result&resnum=9#v=onepage&q=&f=false But I would recommend buying 2 copies of this book. One to read in your favorite chair in the house and the other to have lying on your workbench and let it get greasy and dirty because you will be constantly referring to it as you rebuild the engine. It is the BEST book on this sort of subject I have ever run across. You might also be interested in "The 440 Source" at http://www.440source.com/ . They carry mostly higher performance parts but also LOTS of big block parts and accessories for the RB engines, both 413 and its big brother the 440. The only thing I have bought from them is a high torque starter. Perhaps other members could add comments on their experiences in dealing with this company. Best of luck in your rebuilding project. Keep us informed on your progress.

If anyone has recently gone through this process and has any hints or recommendations on vendors/part manufacturers they would care to share it would be very much appreciated.
