I said that a STOCK 318 wont have much more power then a GOOD slant. I stand by that, especially an 80's low compression 2bbl 318. I even had one rebuilt to stock specs, bored 0.030 and it was just a big disappointment. To correctly put a small block in an A body where a slant was is a lot of...

Switching out a good slant for a stock 318 really ain't worth it. Less mpg and not much more power, plus it is a bigger pain in the *** to work on. Cut the head on the 6 about .100 and put at least a 2bbl on it, you will be quite close to a 318, put a cam in it and you can easily be more...

Try egge.com a quick look found 426 wedge pistons std bore (.060 over for your 413) for $446.61 a set. I looked up a 63 engine. No 413 pistons though. Hope this helps TopHat
