62-64 letter series WERE the first muscle cars, as people think of them .. The Dodge and Plymouth versions (Fury, Belvedere, Savoy) had the same or slightly longer, by 1-5", wheel base and legnth as the GTO, with 413 or 426, cross ram, induction, that ruled the strip, in its time... The GTO was simply DeLorean's marketing genius and nothing more.

There are photos of them like that out there.. but this engine will be going with the factory look.

Fifty years ago Mr. Hessle and I tuned up a 1963 Chrysler 300 same engine , a 413 . Mr. Hessle was in his 60's back then and taught me some engine tune up skills. He paid $300 for it and was asking $500 for it. Do not know if he got five hundred for it, because , fall of 1973 came a nationwide gasoline shortage.

About 40 years ago I spoke to an older timer about this long-ram engine. He said the car salesman would put a 10 or 20 dollar bill on the dash and ask the customer to grab the money, if they could, when he punched the throttle. According to the old timer, not many could. Not sure if that is true, but makes for a good story.

The old man who taught me to turn wrenches built the first 426 wedge motor by boring out a 413 to 426 CID back in the 60's. Hand forge forged pistons, bob esky( personal friend) ground a special cam for it. Curly did all the head work, ran a 3 dice carb setup. We ran it in south Florida super modified stock cars. A late model, an off set super modified ( the first in the nation) now called Gold cup in the southwest racing circuit.

60 years ago this induction system was an experiment and as evidenced by the fact it was short lived tells me the engineers weren't happy. If it produced more power surely it would have been improved and perhaps used on some hemi engines too. In comparison we have 60 more years of development in aftermarket with the aluminum intake and carb yet are struggling to outperform the original. What I'd like to see is a pair of EFI throttle bodies on that intake. My gut feeling is with the right amount of air/fuel and airflow you could get more power with original looking system. I was also thinking of ways to adjust valves without needing to remove intake. I'm assuming customer didn't want to adjust valves after building this engine but perhaps the solid lifters is what is needed to make this cam sing? More precise valve timing at high RPM could help IMO. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on Mopar BB Wedge engines. Kudos to Nick for bringing us a view of this rare beast that most of us will never see in person let alone learn so much about. Thanks Nick

I'm amazed how you have been able to successfully install tons of flat tappets and have them survive, machinists and engine builders everywhere have been loosing cams and lifters like crazy recently even when everything is done right. Most of the off the shelf lifters are not machined correctly and will stop rotating and wipe out very quickly, usually during the break in or before the first 500 miles.

I'm so stoked you guys decided to bore it out to a full 426ci, just the perfect number to get as much out of that engine as possible without using a stroker kit with the cast iron manifolds and soon the long ram dual quads, this 300J is going to be packing the ultimate 426 Street Wedge with every trick in the book with all cast iron heads and manifolds. I wanna see 400hp and 500tq from those dual quads. I think they have it in them and all of this at low relatively rpms, the opposite of the Hemi. This setup is the best chance that big car has to get moving off the line as quick as possible through that specially tuned TF727, hopefully it has relatively tall gears to generate MPH with all that TQ. Probably should be 3.23 at the shortest, a 2.94 or 2.76 would probably be the best way to use 500tq in a 4000lb car.

I then installed the ShortRams with the same carbs it made 429hp&543ftlbs. The ShortRams Buried the other two manifolds in the torque dept!

That is one very nice engine! Lots of torque, lots of power, very smooth, a fat extremely usable power band. The sound it makes with those factory cast iron manifolds is pure music. Appropriate for a luxury muscle car. Now, I can’t wait to see what those wild dual cross Ram intake manifolds do for the torque and power curve. Want to see if they really make more power where it counts!

We walked up the ramp from the boiler room , and darn near fell back down when he opened the hood! There sat a Monster Crossram !

We had a blast , and continued until he retired my Jr. Year. He moved back closer to his family , but taught us a good lesson. Never judge a book by its cover. What you dont see might just fool ya.

@@NicksGarage We had a good time , but thry sure changed , but we had no clue what he did in his younger years. They worked hard and played hard , like the handful of us looking at car mags during library and fixin our rides best we could. I actualy was driving a 59 Apache Stepside at the time Dad and I played with. He was a mechanic still at that time and since young was always learning. Appreciate your Channel , Thank You.

It’ll be fun to see how she does with the long ram intakes. I love these old “forgotten” Chrysler motors. Would be thrilled to see you get an old ‘62 383 RB with the factory dual AFB’s. I had one in the 80’s, and I shoulda kept it. What a head-turner!

Long ram or inline AFB's? What car was it in? Was it stock in that car or you put it in? I have an iron inline dual quad manifold for the B (not RB) block from about 1962 or 1960.

Excellent, loved the tuning. Can't wait for the cross ram setup.

I am always amazed at the determination shown by Nick to find the best possible tuning for these classic engines. The commitment to excellence is truly remarkable and it shows in the results. They really are as good as it gets.

Thank you Nick 👍Very nice job! Sounds great and those manifolds are quite a unit! Thanks again from Cape Cod 👍🙏

Nick and George, that engine sounds so good ,smooth ,and powerful at the same time . Love the factory exhaust manifolds. Can't wait on the factory intake manifold test . Love it 413 !!!

Thanks for being here again, Shoe.

safety glasses rule,, dont wory about the looks, get em on. 413 What a legend we often heard 413 in old surf music and hot rod songs of the early 1960,s. That intake i have seen long ago on a car here in an American car show in the 80,s, the intake is twice the length of a tunnel ram, imagine if the runners were straight up it would maybe 1/2 the height of the roof.

That is a very smooth running RB, I just had to fire my 440 up after winter hibernation, +14 degrees C here today

This makes me want an early 60's Mopar, but then again, Buick guys and Mopar guys are never as far apart as they like to claim.

@Duke Allen 😂 Well, since I have those too, I will concede. I like the cost of building them better than building a Buick. I'm sure it's the same for the moparians.

Did you know that once upon a time there were intake adapter plates available that would allow you to fit a 383 intake on a 400 Buick? ...not that most people would wanna do that, but it was possible. I always thought there were a lot of possibilities there since the aftermarket wasn't all that Buick-Friendly in those days.

@Tony Underwood yep, occasionally still see a set come up for sale. Pretty cool stuff, the buick 400-455 and the mopar wedge are pretty similar in a lot of ways. TA Performance has really done a lot to keep products around to build the Buicks, and we have single plane manifolds for them now.

OUTSTANDING NICK !! Tons of experience and taking time to get it dialed in is what separates you from the rest !! I really like you setting your base, breaking in the cam and seating in the rings on a dyno carb to remove any questions of the carburetion in this crucial time... BRAVO !!

You should always run 195 degree thermostats Nick. At the GM Training College in Atlanta (back in the early 90's) I saw the metal wear chart for cast iron (like the cylinder walls) and the wear is at it's minimum at 195 degrees. It rises slowly with temperature but what surprises everybody it that wear increases faster as temperature drops and is ten times the wear at 160 than at 195 degrees. Maybe you can eek out more horsepower at lower temperatures, but I see that as a thing for racers to do, not guys like us who build engines for street cars.

I understand. I run all my clients cars with 180 F thermostats. In car temps are usaully 190. Under hood.

Hi Nick that is one sweet smooth running 413 and looks equally as sweet too! George awesome video with sounds just fitting for this motor. Man that sounds sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool Nick.
