Got my 413 Flathead Delivered Today

Recommended Posts

A person that I got to know new I was looking for one of these 413 flatheads and he  heard of one for sale out of a 1954 Dodge 4 tonner, told me about it and here it is delived today!

 

Supposed to be a runner too. These engines are one of the rarest of all Mopar truck engines as the trucks they came in are really low production 1953-1956.

 

Repair parts other than gaskets and fuel system parts don't exist. I have always been on the hunt for this big bore/long stroke unusual engine.

30+ years later I have a back up for big red-my 1953 4 tonner.

 

I'm really happy tonight!

Wonder if that was set up for a triple carb at one time.  The intake looks tinkered with.  Saw one a few years back in a truck with a grain box on it was a K series chassis. When I was a kid the local VFD had a K  pumper truck.  Good place to start building a speedster............

The carbs are the correct Carter E9G1's. Manifolds are correct and factory stock too.

The "Handy" governers were removed though and a couple carb linkage rods have been replaced with aftermarket incorrect rods. I have the correct ones.

 

These engines- never were triple carburation.

 

I am going to run it to see how it sounds and runs initially. But first I do have to fix some damaged tin-oil pan, FP heat shield, go through the carbs ect do some inspecting.

I have bought several of these big tonnage trucks and a 60 passenger bus. Displacements are 281, 306, 331, 377 and the 413.

My red one is a  nice rust free truck I've had since 1984.The other trucks I bought over the years  just to save them from the crusher.

I got all of them running just to keep the engines running and of value.
