[Chrysler300] Correction on 300 K Engine

[Ray Menzel <SunKars@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello to all in 300 Land Again

I do not know where my head was the other day when I wrote the note below. For some reason (old age??) I typed in a J where a K belonged. Sorry for the confusion.  Bas enough I did it one but I did it throughout the whole note.

Thanks  RAY

Hello to 300 Land



Time has gone by me and I now realize that I have more

projects left to do than I have years to do them. I have decided to finish my

300 G Coupe, my 58 Dodge Sweptside pickup and my 67 CSS Dodge pickup that

are in process of frame up restoration. All of them are partially done and I

have collected most of the parts needed. 



The other items I have gathered have to be gone in the next

year or so. I am wondering if the following may be of some interest to any of

you.



The first one I have ready to sell is a 413 engine that I removed from a 300J

coupe several years ago.  At the time I had a deal in the works to buy a

300 K convertible from a gentleman who had owned the car for many years in

storage. There was no motor with the convertible. I bought a rusty 300 K coupe

to get the engine and transmission. I started to rebuild the engine and found

out he sold the convertible to someone else



Thinking I would find another convertible I had all the

machine work done and bought most of the needed new parts. I disassembled the

413 engine and have had all the machine work done to completely rebuild the

engine. The block was Tank boiled clean, new cam bearings aligned and

installed. The cylinders were bored .030 oversize and the head mating surfaces

ground to perfect flat. All rod ends are re-sized, stress relived, new rod

bolts installed with new wrist-pins, new pistons and rings. The crankshaft was

turned .010 to true it. The main bearing caps and block were checked and

corrected for true alignment. We have new rod and Main bearing inserts. The

complete rotating assembly has been precision balanced. There is a new Melling

performance oil pump and a new vibration dampner included.



The heads have been tank boiled clean and new valves and guides installed. Both

block and heads have new premium freeze plugs installed. The rocker arms and

rocker shafts are all new. I have the old original camshaft but I believe it

should be replaced. I have the original set of push rods. I intended to

match the lifters and push rods to the cam when I selected it. The engine is

not assembled yet. 



I also have a set of long rams with the correct carbs for a 300 K . They were not

on the original engine. I bought them separately.



I have the original transmission from the 300 K  coupe. It had

the shifter in the console and I have the cables to the shift tower. It is as

it came from the car.



I will be listing other items as we go along.
