Now that that is said. Yes, Rappin' was cool, and yes the Big Dodge is a load. It shifted coming up the hill and I drug the exhaust the last 1/2 mile. No quitting, no turning back, it's a country road! I was going to replace it any way. I had an appointment Thursday but that heart thing messed that up!
There will be more info on the Engine as I get it. I got a book on eBay that both answers questions and raises questions. There are numbers in some places where they shouldn't be and no numbers where they should be. Yet it is the same engine as those in the illustrations. Also '52 didn't have a 413. It seems it was a 376.98 ci. A 4" X5" and not 4 1/16 X 5 3/16 which doesn't come out to 413 either. Oh well, we're learning here, right? \:D
