Re: IML: 413 vs 440 in a 64 Crown

[<pnkmoore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's hardly my business to say it Mark, but I may be with Pete in PA on this 
one.  If the 440 ain't broke, why fix it?  I can undertand if you're a 
purist because I can be that way too, but I'd give myself a break in that 
regard before I'd trade out a motor.  I think the 440s are wonderful 
engines.

There is no difference in external dimensions between a 413 and a 440.  If
the guy who installed the 440 used all the 413 manifolds, oil pan,
accessories, brackets, etc. then your swap back to a 413 will be a breeze.

If, OTOH, the 440 was installed used all the manifolds, etc. from the 440
and it was a much later engine then you will have some heartburn.

Why bother removing the 440 to put in a 413?  The engines look identical
from the outside.  Is the 440 shot and you'd rather have a 413 under the
hood?  Is the 440 a late production, low compression engine?

Hey all you mechanical experts,

What would one need to do to change out the 413 in a 64 Crown to a
440?  What things would need to change/be replaced etc.  I am not asking
this because I am contemplating doing it, on the contrary, I am thinking
about undoing it.  A previous owner did this to my car, and I am wondering
what it would take to undo this and put a 413 back in.  Would I need to
replace all my accessories like the alternator, AC compressor, starter
etc?  How about the radiator?  Would it just be a matter of pulling out the
440 and dropping in the 413, or would I need new motor mounts (I may need
them anyway).  How about the transmission, would anything need to be
changed there?

Thanks for your input,

Mark Elliott
