a friend of mine picked up what he was told was a 413 short block from a motor home
it is a complete short block except for a ballancer
it has what looks like a 72 casting date....
it has "HT 413" on the id pad
so the questions are.
would this be a forged or cast crank?
how do we tell?
can 440 stuff be used on it(heads and intakes)
I know the 413 Motor home heads and exaust look to be different...
did they still make the 413 in 72-73?
is this short block worth anything?
or is just the crank usefull?
thanks in advance. Ron...
