Tech Question
grant harvey, albuquerque, NM, 1988 dakota 2-wheel, std cab 413?
Want to put an early 413 in the Dakota, motor mounts, exhaust manifolds all look doable. Will BB pan fit OK nestled right behind that front cross member the rack bolts to?
Grant -
Schumacher has you covered. Even headers. See www.engine-swaps.com . From his site: "On the B/RB pan, we've had success using the Milodon 4x4 pan, # 30890, and shortening the sump approximately 2" to get a measurement of 6" from the back to the front. The recommended pick up and screen, #18455, works fine."
But, man, if all you want is Tq not HP, a 408" SB sure makes a LOT more sense! Otherwise, a "built" 440 (or stroker B or RB). Assuming you aren't talking Max Wedge 413, and will have standard early 413 heads, you'll be lucky to make 350HP, and it will be nose-heavy without the fun of being sick fast!
