Re: IML: Dope on The 413

["Bill Watson" <wwatson5@xxxxxxxxx>]

Will have to do some searching on Dodge Truck engines of that period.
Generally the truck engines were car engines beefed up a bit to handle the
extra demands.

That 413 with 228 gross HP and 400 torque is actually quite anemic.  I know
the truck 413 was available with a 2-bbl carb, but that 228 bhp pales in
comparison with the 1959 Imperial's 350 gross bhp and 470 lbs feet of torque
(4-bbl carb and 10.0:1 compression ratio)

Subject: IML: Dope on The 413


Hello All,
I just received my October copy of Hemmings Classic Car magazine. On page
72, there is an article entitled Depend on It The 1960 Dodge truck V8.
Before someone yells foul - this is not Imperial related - read on.
According to this article,the 413 engine ( 361 also ) "...have their design
roots in a heavy truck application. Chryslers 413 was then modified and
fitted to a number of passenger car applications." It goes on to credit The
Dodge Division for engineering the B Block. In a seperate chart, they speak
of a 413 that devrloped 228 gross HP and 400 lbs feet of torque. These
figures were obtained with a 7.5 to 1 compression ratio. My question is
directed to our club gurus. What gives? If this is correct, how to I obtain
additional information on the subject?
