Looking to take on one last restoration project with my father and probably will be our last considering the years we both have logged! Have a lead on a 64 chrysler 300 w no engine. Want to put a 413 back into it. Thinking just a wedge, not max wedge, for a replacement. Have an early 70's motor home 413 in the barn and want to use that block. Plan is to use 906 heads, 268/284 purple cam, forged cranck from a 440 and an in line dual quad intake.Is all this a viable replacement performance wise to the original 413? Do have concerns on intake after seeing a thread somewhere on it flow characteristics especially seeing it dyno''ed against a six pack intake. Want to squeeze every course out of this 413. Recommendations?
 

The 413 should already have a forged crank. I would use some aftermarket aluminum closed chamber heads instead of the old 906s. Piston selection with the 413ci might be a problem, but those rv blocks are thick, and unless it is rusted out bad you should be able to bore it to 4.25.
 
unless those heads are pretty near *perfect* or you have friend that owns a machine shop who owes you a favor, i'd skip the 906's and go straight to something aftermarket and aluminum.

edelbrock 5440 intake is what's up. a pair of 500 cfm afb's or avsII's would go nicely.

i don't love that cam, but it'll get the job done.
