413 Wedge

[300]

Hi. Got a 65 Satellite with a 318 poly auto, want to someday through my resto to change it to 4 gear and Wedge engine, There's are firm up here near Lindsey Ont, Forhemisonlyfho. Anybody heard of them. Your thoughts on this combo. Thanks

Remember, you asked. Here are my thoughts. Throw the 413 in the ditch and build a 440. If you doubt me, hunt you up some decent pistons for a 413. Egge Machine sells some STOCK CAST flat tops for 351 bucks. After that, all you have is 800-1000 buck custom pistons. Same with the 426 wedge motor. I just recently went over all this with a friend who had his heart set on a 426. You CAN get pistons, but who wants to spend that kinda money on a stock low compression cast piston, when you can get a quality hypereutectic or forged for the same or even less? If you gotta have a 413, go for it, but there's a more powerful and cheaper alternative. The ditch. lol

Get a 440 block and build it to look like a wedge. That way you can sink all that money into the intake and heads instead of pistons that only you will know you have.

I agree with Rusty and HIT413:
I DID it too..
I built a 440 to look like a 426 MAX or a 413 MAX
This is mine for the 63 Polara. with DALE REED (Google Dale Reed @Dale's place)
Dale performed all the technical stuff...

Yup, For Hemi's Only. Tim Banning?
Anyway, I bought my Hemi air cleaner assembly from them.
I have no complaints with them
I will do business with them again.

Nice lookin motor.

Thanks Guys. I think you just made up my mind. On the hunt for 440. What do you think Auto or 4 speed ?

 

[RustyRatRod]

4 speeds are cool. But I prefer an automatic. Clutches do not multiply torque. Torque converters do. You'll never out shift an automatic with a 4 speed. They could dig Ronnie Sox up and frankenstein him and he still couldn't even do it.

What year of 440 would I be looking for, and ( being not a motor guy) what and where else could I get this como. Thanks

Yeah, it takes a real driver to run a stick car on the strip with any success, but I prefer a clutch pedal and row your own gear changes for my toy. Helps me feel more a part of the driving process. Plus, the exhaust note of a manual transmission shiftin' hard beats any exhaust sound of an auto. Just my opinion.

I agre 100% they are more for FUN. That's why my rat rod truck is gonna have a 4 speed behind the 318 and then a 3 speed behind the Hemi.

I Have A '65 426 Wedge Block In My Satellite, But Beyond That, Most Of The Guts Are Hemi And 440 Parts. If You Looked At It, You'd Swear It Was A Stock Street Weggie! The Older Parts From The 426's Just Don't Get The Job Done Anymore. Pistons And Rods Are A Joke. The Intake And Heads Is We're You Gonna Be Making The Power!

 

[HT413]

Here ya go. Now arent u glad u didnt waste $1000 on custom pistons for that 413?

 

[300]

Ya your right. Now just got to find a 440. Still wondering what year to look for. Thanks
