Re: 413 Value?

IMHO, nothing looks better under the hood than a big block mopar (440, 426, 413) with the Max Wedge cross-ram. Twelve years ago I was a Chevy guy with the baby-seat in the back of my orange 72 SS Chevelle. Then I saw a Max Wedge engine in a muscle car book I got for Xmas and saw the light. Kind of like John Belushi in the James Brown church in Blues Brothers.

Gary, Yes understand what you are saying. I'm sticking with my Poly Stroker I am building for my '62. If I swap it out for a 413 - then I run into issues with compliance as well, so it is far easier and in the long term to follow my current path. I was looking at the 413 for another car. Cheers Tony

I was talking to a guy who said in Kansas he saw a number of 413
industerial engines off of irrigation pumps sell for $800 to $900 at a
consignment auction.

They were bought by a machine shop.

Any idea why they seemed to bring a good price? With the exception of
the block and crank I don't know what would be of any value except in
an industerial application.

Growing up in the area we had a grinder with a 413 running on propane,
great running engine but as I remember it has sodium filled valves
hard surfaced for the propane application.

Thanks
