Re: Early 70's 413

You know, with all this bashing of 413s, it is amazing what these engines did in their heyday. Agreed we are talking about a motorhome block and heads, but it is a 413 block and heads!!! The 413 block powered everything from Imperials to Drag race champions to trucks and motorhomes and formed a step in the development of the 426. I have a 60 Chrysler with the factory RB 383, which was produced for only two years, but, like the 413 uses RB heads and intakes, including 426 Wedge and 440 parts, and it is a kick-ass engine. I also have a 413 (motorhome) engine in the garage that I bought for kicks, which I probably won't get around to, since I have too many other projects/obligations. But, I don't regret buying it and would feel no shame passing it along to someone who would like to build a top-notch MOPAR RB engine. 413s are cool.

That's the way it should be! Build the car for YOU. It's what I did. Not original but what I wanted. And the 413 is a monster engine. Same stroke,smaller bore than the 426. Have it tested then bored out .060. Maybe not exactly a 426.. more like 425.5 but who cares. Obviously some do. Runs great with horrible gas mileage but that's how it was and is. if you know what you want a 413 motorhome engine is just fine.
