I agree with Larry, one of my favorite cars from the past that I have mentioned here before was my '65 Coronet 500 that had a powerful high compression engine installed in it (I did not know the origin of that engine or the original engine for the Coronet) back in '80 to '81. That car was wicked fun and dangerous to drive (the way we like it), the same as my '64 Polara was when I had the 440 engine in it. In fact, I have mentioned here before about when the Polara almost tossed me in the back seat when I was spinning the tires and caught traction on hot tar, I also did the same thing with the '65 Coronet 500, except when it caught traction it shredded the Pro-Trac tire (remember those?). Really, it ripped the sidewall apart. Good thing that I had not picked up much speed since I was spinning the tires (doing a burn out)

Agreed we are talking about a motorhome block and heads, but it is a 413 block and heads!!! The 413 block powered everything from Imperials to Drag race champions to trucks and motorhomes and formed a step in the development of the 426. I have a 60 Chrysler with the factory RB 383, which was produced for only two years, but, like the 413 uses RB heads and intakes, including 426 Wedge and 440 parts, and it is a kick-ass engine. I also have a 413 (motorhome) engine in the garage that I bought for kicks, which I probably won't get around to, since I have too many other projects/obligations. But, I don't regret buying it and would feel no shame passing it along to someone who would like to build a top-notch MOPAR RB engine. 413s are cool.
Just my 2 cents....
