I’m a mopar man. & we pickup pulled with a 413/476ci. It was a 4.13 bored to 4.25 bore, a 7.100 rod with a 4.25 stroke crank. What a power house engine with big torque

Old 413s ran pretty damn well. My grandfather gave me one with the cross ram induction. Being 15bi didn't know what I had when I stuffed it into my 76 short box d100. I raised he'll with that truck and an old timer cop stopped me on time. He asked me to take a look under the hood to see what I had. I thought he was gonna have a heartattack. Then he explained what I had.

This is a nice video about an example from a great engine family. The 413 doesn't get the attention it deserves. Thank you.

That's the first time I've ever seen somebody run a true 413 on the dyno nice to see that the old girl still make some power

What a spectacular build! For us MOPAR guys, your work gives us a blueprint for our own builds! My wife’s 1960 Imperial Crown Coupe will certainly benefit from this! Keep up the good work! From Denver, Colorado USA.

Easy to see why it went to the late 70’s in a truck . That low end torque is sweet

Love it! Find a cross-ram and Maxie heads!!!!

Actually a 1955 design and pretty bulletproof, only surpassed by the low deck Mopar Big Bock, which is basically the same engine with a shorter stroke and bigger bore. These are GREAT, G-R-E-A-T engines

I have one in my Duster with egge cast flat top pistons, 230°.050" .480lift cam and 440 source cylinder heads just ran my best time 12.48@108 with a 2,500 stall and 3.73 gears.

Got to say a big thank you for all the Mopar stuff you feature , along with the rest , The 413 is a rare engine and it was epic to see one on the dyno , thumbs up 👍

Of course these were the older of the more modern MOPAR big blocks. I remember the one in my Dads 64 Imperial Crown Coupe, he bought new when I was 9. I also remember he alway let me go out to start the car for him before we went for a ride. One day we were at a beach house he was building for the family, they had quit for the day and were eating at a neighbor/friends house next door. Anyway Mom needed something in the trunk and I jumped at the chance to go get it. So being the little devil I was back then, I took the keys, went through the back yards over to our driveway, climes in the car, started it up and proceeded to rev it UP! I have no idea high, but it was enough to shred all but one of the four fan belts! With a loud BANG! OMG! I was SO Scared I blew up Dads beloved new Imperial!! I didn’t know what to tell him! But I never had the chance, as Dad and his friend came running over to see what the dam noise was! Well I could see the relief in his eyes when he saw I had not hit the new house under construction, but that changed to RAGE, when he spotted the pieces of shredded fan belts on the ground underneath the front of the car, and the loud squealing noise from the last one left on the power steering pump!! Oh man did I get a whipping!! Something we all laughed like hell about later in life!!! That was a beautiful car. Dad owned till my 3rd sibling was on the way. When Dad was forced to trade his beloved Imperial in on a new 9 passenger beach wagon! Oh but not just any beach wagon, but an amazing 68 Chrysler Town&Country Beach Wagon, loaded with power everything, farm metallic maroon with matching leather three row interior, AM/FM, huge chrome roof rack with beautiful matching chrome handles on each side of the power rear window and factory towing package with 3:09 posi trac! But most importantly a honking 440/4 brl TNT engine with dual exhaust!!

Music to my ears...and...looking good Glenn

Excellent and professional job great power curve! I have built and ran a lot of Mopars drag racing my 24/7/365 daily driver 4 door C bodies. Those 4 bolt heads are almost always superior to 516 and 906s, especially the 1959 "509" and early 60s "324" if they have old school welch freeze plugs. It aint all about flow. But the best improvement I ever made was gasket matching. Leave a 1 to 2mm ledge sticking up from the bottom of the head port to flip up any pudding fuel. Never sink the valves. Do a great valve seat job, slightly bowl blend, and leave the rest alone. i get 30% better low lift flow with 30deg intake seats. Bigger ex valves with hard seats. Blend and polish exhaust. Huge gains from a little grinder dust! Better in every area, including MPG. headers and a minimum of 2.5" exhaust a must. Good cam choice!, Im willing to run bigger with no more than a 110 ctr helps. They do not respond well at all to "modern" wide ctr cams. They wanna lope! Overlap seems to help with low octane. With our fuel here in the US, 9 or 9.5 cr is about right. Lower is fine. More timing works much better than more compression. I always run 2x4bbl either inline, tunnel rams, or long rams always synchronized, and no progressive linkages. But you have a great manifold there! I have spent many years learning the Thermoquad carb. Best mpg, tune ability, power, and sound! Dont toss warped ones they're fine just keep the same parts together. I get 21 mpg with a 1968 Crane experimental hyd, "H302" 234° @ .050 109 ctr .455 lift cam (tried about 20 others, nothing beats it, esp not the new crane "302" ) , 4.10 gears, long rams, and two big block TQs. lifts the front end with 4680lb car, low 13s in 1/4 with 8.0 cr on 89 octane. Gearing and torque convertor is key. Get her cruising in the rpm sweet spot. People wondered how it got such good gas mileage. It almost doubled, going from 2.91s to 4.10s at 60mph. 4 mpg better than bone stock! Awesome build!

Good to see Powerhouse Engines doing some engine videos.

Gotta love a sensible tough build.

Great build. I have a 1966 Imperial Crown, 440 with an Ebelbrock intake and Holley carb.

Don't see a 413 dynoed hardly, great vid Glenn and crew.

Great to see,you,driving the dyno Glen 😊 , interesting vehicle,this is going into.

Cool engine . I have a 63 Max Wedge Savoy. I raced it in Super Stock Nostalgia Races . I've had it for 22 years now. It's my favorite toy . 😂

Interesting video, good to see some of the work that goes into building proper cars.

A 413 baby Hemi hemispherical heads a grade engine truly a torque monster

Thank you for the run down on engine parts and specs!!!!!! So many KZfaq builds leave you wondering.

WOW that was a very cool test. The sound she made was incredible and I would love to see it in the Imperial. Nice choice! I have a 300J with crossram induction.

Great video!!! This is a really nice solid no-nonsense muscle car engine, going into an equally nice '59 Imperial... Wow!!! That will be AWESOME when it is done!!!

Sounds smooth to my ears.

Thank you so much for doing one of the mopar big block’s that Aussie don’t know about. Yes you do a fantastic job with each engine build It’s seem’s to be done properly and with facts. That engine will last forever Go the mopar

Great informative and very professional video Glenn. Congratulations. Regards Charlie.

I love the symphony of the 225 six and the heavy bass of the V8. Music to the ears.

wow just wow, never thought it would be so amazing.. first time it run in over 10 years! and I could not be happier. and my God it sounds awesome 👌

That thing would be a Savage with some out of the box aluminum heads

Mopar Madness

The U.S. military used surplus 413s in personnel carriers until the late 80s.

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻 Imagine how well she runs with a well developed cylinder head package!

Hay mate seen your wife at the iga she said you will be doing an update on war horse soon i can't wait to see the progress

These engine powered Trucks, Motorhomes and big heavy 6,000 pd cars in the day! Long ram, Short ram and single and dual 4-Barrel intakes. They had to be torque monsters to get heavy-duty Truck's, Motorhomes and Beautiful long and sleek Mopars moving down the roads.The sound of The 413 is incredible. Mopar was "King of the Road" then! Miss those days. Long live the Hemi! Shawn.

Sounds bloody good

I've been watching a lot of Nick's Garage on another KZfaq channel who's in Canada who mainly works on Mopars and loves the old school Hemi's. Your video must have popped up because I watch his channel. Great video and now I have two channels about dyno tuning car engines etc. I've been into motorcycles since I was twelve when my father bought a new 1972 TS125 Suzuki. Many years later I was working at a motorcycle repair shop which included a machine shop. In 1995 I bought a 1980 GS1000ET Suzuki for $200 stripped it down and rebuilt it as if it was brand new out of the crate and finished it 1 1/2 years later in August of 1997. Lots of modifications to the engine, but kept the O.E.M. carburetors and airbox with a K&N air filter. Stock they did 135mph, red line was at 8500rpms. I changed the drive chain and sprockets from 630 to 530 to lighten it up and kept the same gear ratio because my previous bike "same model and year" only pulled to 7000rpm in 5th gear. The engine I built was so smooth and with gobs of torque from 6000rpms and up pulled to 10,000rpms in fifth gear topping out at about 151mph and kept pulling like a mule, but ran out if gearing. Had I geared it talker, I could have gained another 10mph or so, but never did. I look forward in watching more of your video's here in Miami Florida. P.S. How's the weather down under? 🤔😁🧓

Very nicely done !!! That 413 will last a lifetime.

The sound on this is something else, what a machine

That's going to be an awsome drive

The old dual carb long cross ram intakes on the 413 were / are true torque monsters. You could tow a battle tank or tear down a brick house with em. And wouldn't stress the beast @ all. Not much top end but with huge torque down low who cares. Love to see a dyno torque read from 2K rpm with those manifolds tuned just right.

Nice build. I enjoyed the dyno session. This is a build that can be followed by any B and RB engine users. And would enjoy the results. Nice seeing people down under doing this. Glad that you all like Mopars there as much as we do here in the states. Great content. Thank you, EM.

Nice work Mate. Love it.

I had this motor in my very first car, a 64' imperial. Absolutely loved it. And you're right these motors were torque monsters and very dependable.

What a great video. You don’t see these old vintage Mopar V8s get the modern treatment. There’s a lot to be said for a purely mechanical engine without computers getting a new lease on life. I have a 413 with a four barrel Carter sitting inside a ‘60 Crown Imperial Coupe that I will be going through. Keep up the good work!

Impressive it is

Awesome vid !! I'm glad you guys are using those knock sensors. I'd be concerned too considering 10.25-1 compression with iron heads. Not to mention a very conservative camshaft in the duration department. That can make for a knock sensitive engine under the right circumstances as I'm sure you know. Anyhow, very Impressive numbers considering the conservative nature of the build.👍

It would help to get some enlightenment from David Vizard on that engine.

That engine is a DYNO 🦕

I'm a Mopar guy i have a 360 CID stepside SE Royal Dodge Ram pickup d150 and they like to breath a carb that you think is to big is just about right I'm running a 750 CFM carb on my mouse IT make's 300 HP and 300 got God bless from Canada eh

The best I could get on a 440 with the Performer RPM intake was with a 1 inch, 4 hole carb spacer.

Love it

Holy s*. I'de never have the balls to run up the RPMs to explosions levels. Man, thank you !!!

425 is pretty impressive considering the mild cam and as cast '59 heads. The early 4 bolt valve cover ones like those have smaller 1.94/1.60 valves, I would assume the heads were cut for 2.08/1.74 or bigger though?

Good job on the engine. It ran strong and sounds great. I didn't know there are Mopar nuts in down under. Greetings from the U.S.

Nice work I always impressed with the work that is done in Australia . I had a 426 marine wedge once i installed in a 68 Charger . To get 1 hp per cubic inch on those wedge engines is doing some thing with those cylinder heads . I think the max wedge engines might of had a better set of heads but nothing like the hemi . I appreciate your build and video .

Max wedge big time baby nice motor

I wanted to build a 64 Plymouth 2 door into a max wedge 426 group N racer, but I'm not sure if they would offer tech because , although they were raced in nascar when new, I cant find many that road raced in that period - and you know how CAMS can be about these things

I love your vids! Keep up the good work! And give that big block a couple more degrees of timing, I've seen them peak around 36° a lot. Don't know what the octane rating in your fuel is.

Glenn. I understand that you live in Australia and I gather you own this high performance shop. Since Dodge - Chrysler Corporation is an American Company and I was wondering where you learned to work on the older muscle cars. Did you work at Chrysler at one time or at an American Performance shop to gain your experience. The Hey Day of Big Block Super Stock Drag Racing was the 1960s and 1970s when there was a lot of these Big Block Engines and a lot of men who knew how to work on them. Most of these folks have passed on and took their knowledge with them. There are still some Die Hard Drag Racers out there that run the Big Block Dodge, Ford and Chev 427s but very few are left. That why I was surprised to see an Australian that was not part of that Generation know how to Set one of these Engines up and make it run as this video shows. You Tube has many Videos shot at local Drag Strips that film many Big Block Classics in 1960 s and 70s Cars that dedicated Racers have kept going, I still get a thrill when I see them.

What pistons did you use in that build it looked like they were flat top zero deck or close to it I have 3 of those 413 engines all out of trucks but they are way down in the bore like 7.5 compression thank you for sharing your knowledge with us

Try a hughes engines cam next time with 1 7/8 " headers and larger carb and ported heads or rpm heads and boom 500+ hp easy.

Wow! You guys sure got a lot of HP and Torque out of that 413. Sounds really good to boot. You dont see many on the road. Actually, I haven't seen any that have been transplanted into newer cars ( (66- 73 B-bodies). Makes me think!

Beach Boys even wrote a song about it.

My dad had one but it was set to specs from factory and had carter carburetor.

Would love to see an update on this car

Add at least a 1-in spacer, and you've got four more degrees of timing to play with at least. Big Block Chryslers have always responded well to 34 to 36 degrees of total advance. And it looks like the phasing is pretty good, your timing mark is not jumping around. From your specs, and I don't remember what compression ratio you had but you should be running somewhere right around 4 35 horsepower and right around 490 to 500 foot pounds of torque.

Don't take this the wrong Glenn, I think you've lost too much weight. Do applaud the effort though. Just want you to be around. You seem like a good bloke and the works needs more fellas like you. Also keep up the good work!!!!

Did you put twin spring valve springs on it? It seems to be losing however a bit early. Also seems to be lugging an awful lot early in the test. Your Advanced mechanism isn't picking up Advanced quick enough.

I like the old four bolt valve cover heads. I wonder what power it would make with an old Weiand or Offenhauser 4bbl intake manifold made in the early '60s. They were low rise single plane and nothing at all like single plane intake manifolds like the Torker.

See how it lays over in Brit terminology translation is< lets float the valves and see how much power it makes!!

Do y’all sell the stock size pistons that are flat tops?

Knock Sensor!?!? I'd LOVE a knock Sensor on my RB440. Do you have a video on the install and setup of this knock sensor???

What’s the whine type sound coming from that engine? That engine seems to have a lot of blow by! I noticed that engine is an early 413. 4 valve cover bolts instead of 6. A new head would have had better port flow. Still pretty good power.

Put on the long tube intakes. With dual 750 cfm carbs.

Is that amount of blow by excessive or will that decrease when rings are seated better?

"She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen. She's trading her MG for a white Chrysler Le Baron"

There's just something about the sound of a Chrysler B/RB engine at full song.

What is the flow? if it is like the 452's or the 906's then it tops out at 220cfm so 440 hp is about all you can do. Try a moderate PnP job with some pocket porting adds 40-50 plus hp if the cam tickles the valves enough.

Dose he still got the push-button transmission to go with that

G.E....not just a smooth-talking presenter - also a fully conversant dyno user and engine tweaker!

Not shiny but makes sense

Looks like some blow by.

Lots of blow by

Sounds quiet is there mufflers in there or do you have some heavy duty pipes delivering the audio to the neighbors ears

Editing is your friend.

I am hearing a noise that sounds like a whine. Did the oil look dark ??

Forgive me for being pedantic, but the term for pre ignition is " Pinking", not pinging, the plugs turn pink. To me, it's akin to saying a " mask on a catermerang ". My Dad had a 313 poly in his 1960 Chrysler Royal he bought new, there was nothing around back then, that could could beat my Mum at the lights, she actually looked for Jags to race, never done once. I like your clips, thank you.

I wonder how a 1" open phenolic spacer would have done?

Kicked back on the starter to much advance

Interesting engine, cool build, but I am curious: why such a high compression if the intent is for a drivable, long lasting, engine? Very unusual sound from it, too, not the normal V8 roar, more like a howl.

Running higher octane gas

What were the cam specs?

Needs timing like 36 or 38 degrees

Should be able to run the timing at 38 degrees.

You don't have a thing until you can hear the Ping.

I see the vacuum advance is not hooked up.

What's with the blow by, I have seen a lot of fresh built engines on the run in and this is the first I've seen with so much blow by

Needs another carb mate.
