I have a chance to get a 413 marine engine and was wondering what the differences are between marine/industrial engines are and a street version. Are they usable in street cars? Especially the intake?

Check carefully, some of these engines are reverse rotation. If so, you would have to change the cam and distributor and I have been told the rear main seal might leak more if turned in the normal direction. What configuration is the intake and carb?

Also if history is unknown you should pass if you're near salt water or take apart. salt water will rot them from the inside out. Unless it's still in a boat & you can see a closed cooling system. If you're in middle America it could be fine.

I believe the marine engines had gear-driven camshafts so, even a normal rotation engine takes a special cam; IOW, you'd have to change to a chain drive to use most aftermarket cams.

It's a 62 with a cast iron 2x4. I was thinking it would make a good motor for my 62 300. I just wanted to make sure that it doesn't have different bolt hole patterns,water jackets,cyl heads,or any other differences that would be a surprise. So if I change the cam and timing gears I should be OK? What about the dist? Would they be different?
I have some rare factory boat literature that has a scat pack section where you could get some interesting factory speed boats. I will post it when I get a chance.

I have a marine 440 that I will use in one of my cars, and even though it has a single 4 bbl. manifold I can't use it unless i can find an angled carb spacer. It is designed to set in about a 15 degree angle for an inboard install. Make sure your manifold is the proper angle for a car.

The carbs are 3394s and 3393s. This angle is it left to right or up and down? I will post some pics when I get there.

The angle is (using nautical terms) fore and aft with the front higher.

You would also need the distributor / oil pump drive shaft & gear. The dist drive gear is cut opposite of the automotive version.

You can install a normal cam with this gear drive. There are cheaper ones also. This unit lets you change the cam easily.

Why would you want to stick with a gear drive when a normal timing-chain and gear-set is much cheaper?

I have used a cast iron 'marine' intake on a '66 440 car engine for a while.
The intake also had water cooling passages which could be used.
It was also nice and low providing lots of hood-clearance.

I wound up only getting the intake and carbs. I see the angle spacers. My question is if this is the same intake as a 62 H if remove the spacer plates? It's pretty good cond and ready to b go. Here's a few pics.

There appears to be a slightly (stock) angle in the intake manifold already, and the spacers have their own taper as well, adding more angle to the carbs.
I would think the intake could be used on a car without issues if the stock 'slope' on the intake is around 5 ? degrees.

The single 4 manifold on my marine 440 is about the same angle but the manifold is made that way with no spacer.

So the angle spacers are marine only to level the float bowl because the marine motors sit at a odd angle in a boat?

Yes. When you accelerate the bow of the boat climbs, sometimes quite high, & it could cause problems. I've seen wedges that can be used to achieve the angle using a car intake, you could reverse the procedure to use the marine intake.

If you look closely at our Forward Look engines (and many other car engines) they are angled down about 5 degrees in the back and the intakes are the opposite to compensate so the carb sits level.
There are several reasons for this. One , to allow the center hump to be a little lower and to get the proper angle on the rear diff. There may be other reasons than these. I'm not an engineer.

Get ahold of someone from Cuba. I have heard of boat engines being put in cars and never actually seen one untill the show "Cuban Chrome". As for me I just do not like the gear driven cam shafts unless a race engine simply because I don't like the sound of them. But it seems if an engine would accept the counter parts to it's sister engines why wouldn't it work.
