Re: [Chrysler300] A 300L and 413 story and more

["Gary Barker" <gbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a 413 in my motor home and it  is completely different than a car 
413.  It has different heads, intake manifold , water pump, exhaust 
manifolds.   It has a very low compression ratio( 7.6 to 1) . I wouldn't 
want to put it in a car.    Gary Barker
