The 413 was the 'wedge' engine, wasn't it? Chrysler had some good iron in those days.

yes, 413 wedge

I believe it is in the same family as the 383 and 440, and a 426 wedge at some point in time.

That's the engine that had the Short and Long Ram intakes

for the dual four barrel version from the factory. The "short" ram intake had the carbs pushed out over the valve covers, one on each side. The Long Ram intake had the carbs over by the hood hinges on each side of the engine bay. Those Long Ram intakes were still cast iron and weighed as much as the block. :-)

Gotta love those old big blocks, and I have a weakness for old emergency vehicles.

Me too

'bout 50 HP per cylinder if memory serves

my current car is rated at exactly that

by bj @, Wednesday, October 14, 2015, 20:51 (3267 days ago) @ Creeker

My first car was a 1966 Dodge Charger.
This is the one with the long fastback, rotating headlights, 4 bucket seats and console that went all the way to the back of the back seats. If only it had been a hemi it would have eventually become a valuable car.

Also back in that era I recall a 1967 GTX that I thought was the most awesome car ever, and a 1970 Challenger with 340 and six-pack that was also pretty neat. I also recall people with the 340 Dusters that were pretty darned quick too. Other than the GTX and Challenger I was a Chevy fan.
