Once again I will say this SLOWLY FOR READING
IMPAIRED. 440 are superior in SOME ways to the
413. As for you ALL OUT racers at the track and
class racers, we all know cubic inches rule. I
am not arguing that point, and respect what you
do and bring to the technology table. My hat is
off to you guys. The group I am talking about
are the bracket racers/street machiners who want to run with what they have, instead of throwing
good 413 blocks to the wayside. Some cannot afford
to run 440's at the time and that is where my thread is directed, without your negative rhetoric
shooting them down. Again 413's can be made to
run very well if you have the time to build it
and place it in the right chassis. As for 400's
everbody thought that they were junkyard fodder
until somebody used their noggin and str0ked them.
Now, we have 400 stroker motors running harder than 440's. See my point, ANYTHING can be made to
run, It just takes patience, innovation and good
common sense. As for the term "youngster", I do
apologize to all for the so called "put down",
however if you knew about 413's back then, we
would not be debating now would we. No, we would
be sharing "speed secrets and building tips", to
the young guns and the die hards who held on to
their 30-40+ year old rides. My ending, encorage
those who have less knowledge of what they are
running 440's or OTHER SIZE Mopar mills. Maybe
they just might surprise us all bringing a "new
idea" to the forum. To the 440 guys, respect to you all, but don't knock down the lessser sibling
motors. they have their place on the strip also.
