440 crank in a 413?

[74duster]

I have a complete 413 that will be going into my 74 Duster. It supposedly is in good condition, but I will take it down and check everything before the transplant.
I have heard that a 440 crank will work in this engine and give more cubes. Has anyone done this? If so, what all is involved? Will I need new pistons, rods, etc? Any information or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

The heads are really what make the max wedges. They had no heat crossovers, larger ports, and larger exhaust valves, but if you bored the 413 .60 over you`d be close to the bore of the 426 at 4.24. The 383 and 426 are both 4.25 bores.
