Im debating whether or not to purchase a 58 Chrysler 413/pushbutton trans for cheap and i have access to an edelbrock 3x2 setup....anybody running one?? Need some inspiration.... Cool intakes, valve covers, paint colors?? Lets see em!!
The first 413s came in 1959, so it must be a swap I have a 400 in my 48 Dodge Pickup with offy valve covers and dual quad intake
Nope! I just contacted the seller and he was mistaken....its a 60 mill that was put in a 58 imperial and was later rearended then scrapped.....
Very Cool - are those 67-76 A-Body Hooker Fenderwell headers? they fit like they were made for that thing!
Be aware of the changes for the 1963 model year and again for the 68 year if you have plans for rebuilding. If you troll craigslist and the like you can easily find newer RB packages that go cheap. .
When I was 19 two buddies and I took a Corvair Spyder cross country. Diff had an undetected leak and went south in Gallup New Mexico. We pulled the powertrain with the car teetering WAY up in the air on a pair of HILift jacks in a junkyard dirt parking lot beside Rte 40. A young man had a trans shop and offered to rebuild the trans. His ride was an early 50s Chevy pickup with a 413 and slicks, and At least two gorgeous indian or maybe Mexican girls riding up front with him. At one point He offered us a ride to the parts store. We 3 Yankees sat in the bed, sitting all which way. He showed off with some heavy throttle in first gear, and that Mopar torque tumbled us helpless like puppies to end up laughing in a heap against the tail gate. I found that inspiring then, and still do today.
