2 Big Block Questions

I'm going to put a 413 in my Dart, I couldn't find a 440 for reasonable money so I grabbed the 413.

I ran an RV 440 for a while, but it blew up on me, but I got four years of driving it hard before that happened. I have two other RV engines, one was a dud, big hole in one piston, but the other was a runner, hope it still is.

Plenty of RV engines out there for cheap, you just have to search. I haven't paid more than $900 for an engine and transmission combo, but that one came with enough extra parts to make it worthwhile. My average price has been around $500.
