Hi John,

Yes I assume 413 crank in it now and does have all original stick parts. Has had the 440 with single 4bbl configuration for probably the last 35 years or more. I would actually rather go with this 440 and build off of it but just wanted to ensure everything would still run right once completed. So, I appreciate your post as it is helpful in my decision making. What I really need is a good mechanic/shop to build the new motor. Any suggestions? I am in TX but willing to use whomever would be best here or elsewhere.

Your 440 must (?) have a 413 crank in it now if you have original stick G parts ( or same with automatic) . Are all the stick parts original ?
Only reason I say that is a 440 is just a better (overbored ) 413 from one perspective . Same external appearance. And 413 parts all fit . If striving for originality , might look for 61 heads, but 440 are better . Need G distributor etc .
I would look at rebuilding what you have ..

Looking for a good 413 block/motor and hopefully some reccomendations on a good shop that can build a motor for me for my 300G 3-speed. Original block is long gone and currently has a 440 in it. I have the manifolds, x-rams, carbs, linkage, etc, for the new build. I simply need a correct 413 block and a good shop to build it for me as I want it done right and I am not much of a mechanic.
