1968 ~ 1969 ~ 1970 The 383/335 HP A tremendously durable Big Block Engine. You couldn't 'Kill Them'. In the Road Runner and Super Bee { Shipping Weight; #3450 llbs.} they were very good 'Street Machines', as the 'no frills' B-Body cars were fairly light in the weight department. They were...

Oh Boy !! Getting a 1968 Road Runner 383 into the 12.90's , with just a gear change and milling the Cylinder Heads. Easy there Fredo !! Back in 1968, that was within 1/10th of the NHRA National Record for E/S and E/SA. Where is this 'special' Beep Beep Machine. I will buy it. Back in 1

This ^ would be a good start. * Make sure the Timing is 'correct'. * Check Spark Plugs * Carburetor tweaking * Compression Test Also, there were '3' versions of the 383 {1968 and 1969} * 383/270 HP ~ 2-Barrel {Low-Compression} * 383/330 HP ~ 4-Barrel {Mild Camshaft and low Load-rate...

Most likely cost wise, staying with the 383 may be the best bet. Having the Mains 'Align-Honed' is not too costly, and will ensure a 'square' base for the internal reciprocating components. Cam Bearings. Also no big cost. Picking up a couple of Rods, again minimal cost. I'm sure that you are...

Partially correct, The reason Mopar went to the 'Open Chamber' Cylinder Head in 1968 for the Big Block > was to reduce emission's at low RPM's to meet EPA Guidelines. Also, the 1968 383 had an improved design in the Cast iron Intake Manifold, and better Carburetor with the Carter AVS {630 CFM}.

That Cylinder Head is nothing special. Just an early 'basic' Big Block Cylinder head. It can be utilized on any 1963 thru 1967 361/383 Mopar Engine. Both 4-Barrel and 2-Barrel. Also the 1964 and 1965 ~ 426-S 'Street Wedge'. And the 1966 and 1967 ~ 440/350 HP 'Big-Body Mopar Cars'...

Big Block Valve Train Assembly With a stock type Hydraulic Camshaft {.450" to .475" Lift} I use 'adjustable' Push Rods and {-.0005"} undersized Lifters. It makes for a 'great' combination. The 'stock' Big-Block Stamped Steel Rocker Arms {.140" side-wall} and {.105"} at Valve-Tip and...

Regarding the proposed 440 Max-Wedge for 1967 Mopar {Dodge} were out to thwart the 1966 and 1967 Chevelle SS-396 {396/375 HP} for the upcoming 1967 'new' NHRA Super Stock Division {SS/D} Class. * SS/A .......... 0.00 to 6.99 * SS/B .......... 7.00 to 7.69 * SS/C .......... 7.70 to 8.69 * SS/D...

Actually Mopar had one in the works for the end of 1966, for the new 1967 NHRA Super Stock Classes. It was to be available in the 1967 Dodge Charger R/T 'only'. 440 Max-Wedge * 440 Engine * 11.5-1 Compression Ratio {TRW Pistons} * Max-Wedge 'type' Cylinder Heads * Dual-Quad Intake {In-Line...

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Marvel Mystery Oil ......... a remarkable oil-lubricant.

Cassius Clay was 'taller' than Sonny. Cassius Clay ......... 6' 2 3/4" Sonny Liston ......... 6' 0 1/2" We're talking about only a few pounds in 1964 {1st Bout}, and 1965 {The 'Dive'} in Lewiston, Maine". Yes, both Marty Marshall {1956} and Leotis Martin {1969} were smaller than 'Sonny Boy'.

426 Hemi Where real men live. Not for the 'faint-hearted' and small-block High-Rev Masters. Don Grotheer, "I just couldn't live with myself if I went down to a Small-Block. It would be like telling Sonny Liston to stop throwing hard punches."

Good Analysis,

Not liking a 'Hemi'. What are you ...... 'a communist'.

Leadfoot, You must be a 'joy' to have around at all those Mopar Super/Stock parties after the Racing Events.

426 Hemi, Like going to bed alone, and waking up with Rita Hayworth next to you. "Well, good morning there handsome." https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=JN.NVRHiGvzHSGMXEEPT4iOxg&pid=15.1&P=0

Correct ^^ The Offenhauser 360* 'Equa-Flow' High Rise is a good older Aluminum Intake. The castings are of high-quality, and the units are heavier than the current {more porous castings}. It looks like a Dual-Plane in appearance, but the Intake has an 'open plenum' and works off the...

Edelbrock #60189 Cylinder Heads An excellent product, but they are $775 'EACH' for a complete 'HEAD'. If you're on a budget, that's a tough 'wall' to break.

________________________________________________ The song was written in January 1964, and recorded on March 21, 1964. Definitely a 'shiny red' Dodge '426 Maximum Performance' 4-Speed

1962 413 'Maximum Performance' Came through with 'Special' Dual-Point Distributors, that had full mechanical advance. With a 'special' Cam and High-Load Rate Springs to prevent 'point bounce'. No 'Heat Sink' in the 1962 Maximum Performance Packages. Only other Performance Ignition...

1962 ~ 413 'Maximum Performance' The engine block {Casting #1852029} was a Truck Block. The 413 Truck Block, had a slightly thicker casting, and higher Nickel content, and weighed 3% more than the 413 Passenger Block {Casting #2120529} The block also had minor eye-brow relief-cuts in the...

66~FS Correct, It also can depend on what you have in your 'private stash'. I have a set of NOS 426 Wedge {11.0 -1} TRW Pistons, with Standard Bore. I'd take that 413 for $200 in a 'flash', and bore it out +.070".

That > 413 Block, Rods and Crankshaft are worth $200.

1962 413 Maximum Performance Packages were called; * Dodge 'Ramcharger' * Plymouth 'Super Stock' Many did call it the 413 Max-Wedge, and then later the 'Stage 1' when an improved version was introduced.

1963 '413' There was 'never' a 1963 ~ 413 Max-Wedge The 1963 '413' was found in either the Chrysler or the Dodge Truck. Available Horsepower Ratings * 340 HP ~ 4-Barrel * 360 HP ~ 4-Barrel * 390 HP ~ 2 x 4-Barrel w/Long Ram Intake {300-J} Both the 340 HP and 360 HP '413' Engines came thru...

This from the 1967 Mopar Performance Recommendations In a completely 'stock' 383 HP engine, with 'as is' factory deck height and stock cylinder heads {not milled}. The 383 can handle a Camshaft with a .500" lift and 300* Duration without any Valve-to-Piston clearance issues. '1967'...

On early '383' 4-Barrel Engines, I'm assuming that you are referring to the 1965 thru 1967 Engines that were listed with 10.0-1 Compression. * Flat Top Pistons * 2406516 Cylinder Heads {Closed Chamber} In actuallity, between 9.2 and 9.4 In those 383 Engines that I have pulled apart, the...

Thats seems to be the 'depth number' for the 1968/1969 '383'.

As per the Chrysler Marine & Industrial Tech Department The 383's were usually assembled with the Deck Height .045" lower in the Cylinder than the listed 'minimum specifications'. ie; 1968/1969 '383' 4-Barrel Was listed with a deck Height of {+.021" ab} above deck. But, most of the Blocks...
