According to the specs. in the '65 service manual, the 413 in the 300L
had 360 bhp whereas the one in the Imperial had 340 bhp. When
I removed the original, but tired, 413 out of my
'65 Crown convertible a few years ago, I had it rebuilt to the specs.
of the 300L. I remember the machine shop having to order the
different cam as well as something to do with the valve springs (can't
recall exactly what that was-been too long). The carbs. are slightly
different as are the air breathers. I found an original
carb. from a 413 out of a 300L and had it rebuilt (according to
specs.) by Robert Soule, an IML member. I have not replaced the air
breather as I prefer the original one from my Imperial to keep the stock look to
the engine compartment.

If memory serves me, the only 413 that was in the 300L, was a 340 hp
engine.(Had one in 85), There was a 360HP version, but I'm not sure,
if that was still an option. The real Hi-Po engines were gone after the
64 300K.Kinda fuzzy now, as I'm over 50, Ya'll have a nice day, Dave

Hello everyone:
I have a 440 from a 1967 Imperial in my 300L right now. (the
required Imperial subject)
Does anyone know what the engine code on the build sheet is for a 1965,
413, non-High Performance? My 300L build sheet has engine code "582",
which I believe is for a HP 413. I am curious if the build sheet code
on a 1965 Imperial (which would surely not be a HP) is the same, or
different.
Any other info on the subject would be very helpful, also. By the
way, I would send money for the video purchase also, even though it wouldn't
pertain to me.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Dan Richardson
