[Chrysler300] 413 engines

[JettLarry@xxxxxxx]

I always believed Chrysler used 413 engines through the 1965 model and then moved on to 440s.  I have a matched set of 1966 300 rags out back and decided to see if either was a 440.  Got the red car from Don Rook, the turquoise one belongs to a bigshot from Apple.  The FSM calls for a G in the vin if it has a 413, and F if a 383 and a J for a 440.  Shocked with this news, I inspected the engine callout on the block.  The one car has but 2 identical stamps looking like a capital P a bit backwords.  This was no help so went to the red one.  The engine blank is very hard to decipher but the one plain and clear stamp is a 1.  Neither 383 or 440 have a 1 in them so........413's were still shipping in 1966.  Everybody knows that but me?
