Hey E74.....As our resident Mopar guy, I have some stuff for sale that you may be interested in. I've got a basket case 413 big block Max Wedge engine that is fitted with the factory "pink" camshaft and the good rods and steel crank. The engine is siezed in the bores from sitting for years with water in the cylinders but everything except the bore and pistons may be usable. The engine's apart but is all there including heads, cast iron inlet manifold, alternator, starter, manual flywheel and most everything else.
It's rough but is a good starter as Max Wedge 413 engines are quite rare. It should bore to 4.25 which would give you a 426, just like the old Ramchargers.
I also have a bell housing to suit a top loader (gearbox sold), VH-CM front crossmember modified to take the big block, and big block tailshaft to suit VH ute. This stuff has been in my shed for 25 years and is left overs from a 440 VH ute project.
I'm simplifying my shed contents and as I doubt that I'll ever build a big block anything again, this stuff has to go. If you or anybody is interested, please make me an offer. I don't want to get rich off the proceeds, I just need to make more room.
Sorry to hijack the Silver Bullet Husky thread but this just came to mind so I figured now is as good a time as any to offer this stuff up to the Mopar fiends on the forum! Now...where were we? Oh yeah, Petes new Husky!
