I've got a '64 413 HP block and was wondering how many of you have bored your 413 out to a 426 cid, any problems? Thanks.

Truck block yes,standard 413 no unless its Max Wedge block.You need to bore .125,thats 1/8",too much in my opinion.Not saying it can't be done but I wouldn't do it.

Don't bore the block anymore than needed to make the cylinders straight and round at the next overbore piston size. Then go stroker crank if you want to gain cubic inches. Never bore a factory block to gain cubic inches. Or just find a 440 block if cubic inches is your goal .

I don't know where you got your math but when I went to school 4.18 from 4.25 was .070.
To answer the question Many 413's were bored to 426 spec's long before sonic checking was heard of and lived.

If you were as old as I,maybe you would forget.You bore yours at what you want and I'll do the same.

I've got a 63 413 thats been bored to 426 +.030 over. It's not in a car at this time,pistons too exp. I didn't run it long enough to tell if it would run hot.The pistons had knurled and were slapping pretty bad.Just went with a 440.

Very likely as old or older. Was there & twisting wrenches when these engines were pretty common.

just have the block sonic checked and talk to you machinest about what bores you can go safetly and find a piston for.

Yes, as long as it passes the sonic check you shouldn't have problems with most blocks, I have one that I had bored to 426 (1959 casting date passenger car block) and it passed the sonic check with flying colors, no problems, the thinnest spot was 170 AFTER it was bored, most mearurements were still over 200.

sonic test to be sure but many of those old block's have plenty of beef.

413 to 426 will be no problem in a "straight" block. (no core shift)

Then you must of forgotten that a .060 over 413 is only .010" smaller than a stock bore 426.

Ran plently of .060" over 413's with no issues and another .010" will not make a difference.

BTW, an eighth of an inch is .125".


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Agreed.
I have a 61 413 block that sonic checked THICK.
We're boring it to 426 size and putting it in my wife's 64 fury. Walls are so thick, it could even be bored to 440 size and still be ok.

If you are using the crank that came with the block I suppose you are using the 61 transmission also.Otherwise it wont work with the 62 and later 727.

Good point, easy way to check. The "Old" crank (that won't work with a modern 727 trans) has 8 bolt holes, all other later cranks had 6.

Casting date on the block is oct 61. It came out of a 62 imperial. So I guess technically, the motor is a 62.

You might luck out and have a 6 bolt crank/aluminum 727, look at the rear flange and count the bolt holes in the crank and you'll know for sure.

Confirmed, 6 bolt crank, still in great shape. Just needs polished and standard bearings.

well your bore spec is wrong. 413 have a 4.1875" bore so a .0625 over is required. but the smart
ones bore it .060 and then finish hone it to each piston. bore it .070" over + hone and your gonna
have problems. also when it comes to cylinder block thickness, there is no difference between the
truck/industrial/ or passenger car engine.
