IML: 440 set up for towing

["Michael O. Mann" <mann340s@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I saw early in this thread a note that the 413 was used in RV's through 77.
I knew it remained for some time in heavy duty use, but didn't know they
used the 413 that long.  I have a 78 RV, and it does indeed have a 440.  I'd
guess a 78 or later RV would be a great 440 donor.

In these applications, the water pump/heads/something was different for
extra cooling.

It would be helpful in deciding if these motors are reasonable/economical
replacements if some of you who know could describe these differences,
whether they affect performance negatively or positively in a (slightly)
lighter Imperial, and if the differences can be eliminated economically
during a rebuild.

Mine, as is, along with the frame (shortened), suspension, etc., is going
under my D100 cab and bed to make the "Imperial Hauler."  Maybe Darth Vader
Black if I can get the body straight enough.

Michael
