413 Big Block

[txstang84]

...he also put a 413-426-440 crank in a 383 block for 426 cubes back in the early 80's his dad had a machine shop and the 383/426stroker set up ran like a raped ape in a 67 cuda..dont recall the details as of what piston etc he accomplished it with...

Yeah, I've been pondering doing this lately...not completely sold on it though. I know Fisher is doing that on his thread-bought a steel 440 crank and had it turned down and counterweights shaved for the 383 block.

Anyone care to answer this?

413 out .070" over to a 426? Yes it can be done, have one here in the shop. It's best to sonic check the block first, to make sure the cylinderwalls are thick enough.

I don't know where the phrase.."ran like a raped ape" came from, but I laugh every time I hear or read it.

Seemed like the OP was looking to maintain the 413's low compression, so it seems to me this would be the ONLY time a 413 might just be a good idea. Of course, as Jim pointed out fitment is your biggest hurdle here... and the fact the thing was stored outside under a tarp. If you could just throw it in and fire it up or even rering, bearings and hone, I think it might be a fine choice. But that's not the situation here.

Well, I got the 413. I am just putting in my garage, saving it for my next Power Wagon.
