They were useless for anything but big trucks. Nothing could out pull them. Never met a gas station they didn’t want to stop at.

Nope.
413ci (6.8-liter) Max Wedge V8

The first version of Chrysler’s raised-block or RB design, the 413 was, for a time, the most powerful motor in the Mopar lineup. Introduced in 1959, the 413 made its initial appearance in Chrysler’s New Yorker, Imperial, and 300 series, where it stayed until 1964.

The 413 had a 4.18-inch bore, and like all RB engines, a 3.75-inch stroke. The motor went through a variety of versions, but in 1962, it was massaged into a limited production, high-performance engine known as the 413 Max Wedge for the shape of its combustion chambers.

The 413 Max Wedge actually had a displacement of 425 cubic inches and was outfitted with solid lifters, dual valve springs (to combat valve float over 6000 rpm), magnafluxed rods, and short-ram induction manifolds. With an 11.0:1 compression ratio, this configuration was good for a factory-rated output of 415 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque.
