so, same friend i got the polara off of a few years back. About 10 years ago, we were cleaning out the barn at his parents house and stumbled across this 413 block that he and his brother had pulled from a 63 new yorker in a junkyard. just a bare block, covered in grease, sitting rocker valley down about 3/4 to an inch deep in the clay dirt floor of the barn. I think i gave him like 20 bucks for it. I was and may still make a shop table out of it. Anyway, a few years passed of it sitting in my storage shed and about the time I got the dart, I started researching the max wedge cars. Just for giggles, i ran the casting number on my 413 block, came up as the 62-63 413 max wedge blocks, not a big deal, i knew from research it needed several other things to be a true max block. So I get looking, it has the AAQA stamping, so check mark 2. Has the correct stampings on the dizzy pad, check 3. Cleaned off all the mud out of the bores and holes and such, sure enough, it has the notches in the bores. Completing the requirements for it to be confirmed a max wedge block. So yeah, i've got myself a bare 413 max wedge block. Problem is, it'd likely need full 8 sleeves, decked to 0. luckily the main bearings and cam bearings were left in and those saved the block surfaces for those for rust at all. I'd have probably 5k in machining to bring this block back.
