I got a ’65 413 and was going to adapt a AH42 to it with an Ultra Bell but they don’t know when they’ll be back in stock so I was looking different avenues. A 727 would be the next choice, both will be going in my ’63 D100, (yes not a b body but you guys are good) so anything will fit as the straight axle is getting swapped out. I found a 833 local for a good deal but what’s the odds of finding a good used clutch set up. What size flywheel, clutch disc and center hole bell do I look for….

413 and transmission selection

I have a ’65 413 and on the fence for a 4 speed manual or 727, or maybe a RH42 with Ultra Bell (these bells are out at the moment) I can find a 833 local (tail shaft shifter) but man I would like to find a used bell housing and clutch set up all in one, my crank is a 6 bolt….do the small blocks, flywheel etc. fit, just the bell is different? What about center hole size of the bell, what goes with what…I’m new to the big blocks

Part # 2406516, engine is from ’65 with 80k miles, didn’t hear engine run and going to basic rebuild as very little wear inside. If I get a valve job do the seats need to be swapped out? How about then running the larger exhaust valves? I want a bit more performance is the valve size worth it, running larger cam, carb and headers?

Question is on rocker arms and a few other things. How much slop is acceptable with rockers on shafts or are they a fairly tight fit? Also are the oil pumps rebuildable, I see a kit for them a Melling K-63, are they worth the hassle or just purchase a …

Anyone know what size the cooler fittings on these, I see 3/8" and 1/2" offered. Can you get hard line, an style or is there a kit or?

I’m loading up on parts for a big block/ 4 speed od transmission swap. I’ve found a 46RH trans and yes I know they have a small block bell and will be adapting a Ultra Bell. The trans I found does have a 3 prong switch which tells me it has a lock up converter but also a electronic speedo attachment on the tailshaft. Is it just a matter of swapping it out for a cable driven unit or is there more to it?

Just bought a 413 out of a ’65 Imperial. The numbers on top are 42 A413 and a casting number is 2468030, induction is a Carter AFB, I see horsepower ratings at 340 and 360, what determines this? Compression? 10:0 to 10:1?
