Don Coatney Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 What is the length of these engines? Quote
grey beard Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Posted August 23, 2009 Come on now, Grumpier Don, The ad sez 261 cid, and we all know them's 25-inch big blox. Quote
PatS.... Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Come on now, Grumpier Don, The ad sez 261 cid, and we all know them's 25-inch big blox. It actually says 361 so that could be the real big block from the heavy highway trucks. This guy in England would probably kill for one: http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/dodgerestoration.htm That website says his big truck engine is a 331 Edited August 23, 2009 by PatS.... Quote
greg g Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 could also be the 361 v8.............. Quote
Don Coatney Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 Come on now, Grumpier Don, The ad sez 261 cid, and we all know them's 25-inch big blox. Mopar never made a 261 CI flathead but the ones advertised are 361 cubes. It could possibly be one of these 12 port Mopar flatheads that went all the way to 413 cubes. And I believe they are longer than 25 inches. Quote
grey beard Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Posted August 23, 2009 Don, You are (gulp) right. I stand corrected. I suppose the only way whereby any of us can learn what this guy is selling is to dingle his bell . . . Quote
Olddaddy Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 They are HUGE. I had a 413 here, bought it sight unseen from a knowledgeable expert guy who said it was the big flathead, a 265. When it arrived it was big alright, about 3-4 feet long and weighed over 1200 lbs........if these are anything larger than a 265 they will not fit a pickup or anything smaller than a 2 ton truck.

greg g Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 I believe the head measure i at 34 inches. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 They are HUGE. I had a 413 here, bought it sight unseen from a knowledgeable expert guy who said it was the big flathead, a 265. When it arrived it was big alright, about 3-4 feet long and weighed over 1200 lbs........if these are anything larger than a 265 they will not fit a pickup or anything smaller than a 2 ton truck. My name is "B4Ya" because I'm into the BIG DODGE trucks. It's the truck code for the Dodge 4 ton with the 413. I have a Dodge truck with the 413 six in it and another with a 377 and a couple others with the 306 engines-all with factory installed twin carbs/dual exhaust @ 30" head lengths. These engines and the 281 and the 331 were only used in the 2-3/4 ton through the 4 ton dodge trucks and certain industrial applications. All 7 main bearing. They are quite rare to find-very low production#'s. "Kj's dodge" has a 1948 281ci. BIG block too. Bob Quote
