Re: IML: 413 vs 440 in a 64 Crown

[Mark and Theresa Elliott <deadfishe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have no idea when the 440 is from (I believe the pad that has the 
stamping is under the AC compressor, and I haven't bothered removing it to 
find out).

I also have no good reason to do the switch, other than I can get a 
supposedly good 413 for little more than shipping, and my 440 has been 
basically unused for the past 7+ years, and will probably need a bit of 
work to get it back into working order (it used to run OK, I drove it from 
Port Orchard Washington to Nampa ID about 5 years ago without any problems, 
however it has only been started sporadically since, and not at all in the 
past 2.5 years).  Since I will potentially need to do work to the engine 
anyway, I figure if I had a 413 I could get it rebuilt, then drop it in and 
have a 440 to do something else with (not that I have anything else to do 
with it, but I imagine if I had it I could find something to do with it).
