I have a 426 marine block that has the bosses cast in to the sides like a Hemi block. They are not machined, but the bosses are there.


That's a neat piece you've got there. Always something new. If you have pictures of the lifter valley I'm curious to see if it has bosses for the hemi style head stud.

I thought about doing this, but my machine shop didn't think it was necessary for a 5600 rpm engine. Just doing studs and an align hone.

Unfortunately, no. Just the standard wedge valley. This is about the only photo I took years ago that shows anything up top. It has bosses at the back for some sort of water connections. Maybe these were machined out for truck or industrial applications?

Your pictures look exactly like all the 413 H.D. Industrial , marine and truck motor blocks I've bought and used to make 426 W motors, including the wired looking water like pump bosses on the rear shruggy
The last one, 413 H.D. truck block I took in trade was cast in 1972 and came with the H.D. crankshaft which I used the crank to offset grind it to make a 3.91 stroke crank with 2.200 rod journals and put it in a 440 block for pump gas street motor. I had a Mopar 8 bolt crank flange 4.150 stroke crank in stock and used that crank in the 413. block bore to 4.25 to put in my 1963 Plymouth Fury with a set of 440 source heads so I can tell the locals that old Plymouth has a 413 C.I. junkyard truck motor in it that runs pretty good for a 413 devil stirthepot
