Not really. It's not because they are terrible but because the lack of piston availability. Most will just go with a 440. However, if someone wants to piece together an early 426W B body, and your block is cast in 63 or 64, then that could be good news for someone trying to piece together something. There is one casting number that is shared between 413 and 426 but don't recall what it is.

2406730 both 63 and 64, In late 1964 a new 426 cubic inch block casting number 2532230 began production.

The big block cable shift 727s are desireable transmissions for those who need them.

And 1965 For 2406730!

What Meepumous said. Pistons are high as a cat's back and only custom other than stock. Boat anchor.

If it's out of a motorhome it's got the same crank & rods as a 440-6 A buddy of mine is a machinist & said the bob weight on the 2 cranks are different due to piston weights.

Better be careful there. If it's a TRUE industrial engine, like in a LOT of motorhomes, it's a bastard engine. Heads are way different, crank is way different. The industrial cranks have a longer depth past the last main journal and crank flange. Very similar to some early Hemi industrial engines. Ask me how I know.

You got me curious

I have a 413 block I picked up years ago. Turquoise, single 4 barrel turquoise intake. I know nothing else about the motor. Heads are off and weigh a ton. The number on the block, if I can read it, should determine year. Am I correct? But what else can I look at to give me some idea what it was used for, for example, motor home? I've always loved the 413 cross ram.

My 69 belve has a 413 out of a 1972 industrial application. It's a stout motor. If the motor you're tslking about is a 70's industrial / rv motor you'll end up with a great motor once you rebuild it. But you'll waste hundreds buying components that come already on junk yard 440's from car applications. And it'll suck value out of whatever car you put it in. Dont waste your money if u dont already own it. Honestly, its one of the reasons i could afford the car - had the guy put an equivalent performance 440 in it, i feel the cost wouldve been out of my range.

If you could get it for a $100 or so, and it is NOT the industrial motor, then I would buy it. Reason being that you can use the crank and rods to build a 426 wedge (using a 383 block) or a 451 (use a 400 block). It has the 3.75" stroke of the 440, so there you go. Far as I know, the 413 bottom end should work in a stroker motor. Of course the main journals must be turned down to 383-400 diameter. And the counterweights may need to be turned down to 7.25" diam. I built a 451 using a 440 crank and it runs great! Good luck.

413..can be a bulletproof fine peice of engineering,
the long tube ram induction system...
I never really hear people complain about it
sonny says; If the price is right ...go for it.:headbang:
