A Max Wedge is in the AMT 49 Mercury. It's a RB, so it's a 413 if you say it's a 413.

Slant Sixes are in the Lindberg Mopars. They are Hyper Paks if you say they are.

The Sono-Ramic was in the Jo-Han 1968 Chrysler 300 of all things, and in the AMT 62 Imperial, equally of all things. You can install them on any RB and say it's a 383.

I think the MPC/AMT 28 Model A Ford had the 413 in it as well. I know it has a Mopar big block as one of the engine options. I have the engine laying around somewhere. I believe that it is labeled a Ramcharger 413.

The Max Wedge package, which included many drivetrain and chassis modifications, was available in all 1962, 1963 and 1964 B-body Dodges and Plymouths (330, 440, '62 Dart, Polara, Polara 500, Savoy, Belvedere, Fury, Sport Fury), except 1962 station wagons. Dodge called the package "Ram-Charger 413/426", Plymouth called it "Super Stock 413/426". Only in 1962 it had 413 cubic inches, for 1963 and 1964 it was enlarged to 426 cubic inches.

The Hyper Pak was a parts package made available from 1960 through 1962 at Chrysler Corporation dealer parts counters. It could be installed into any car running a slant six.

The Sonoramic Commando engine was available in 1960-61 Plymouth Furys only. The same engine was called differently, when used in other Chrysler products.

Mine drove Renaults :lol:

Maybe that's why I never turned into a Mopar enthusiast.

Ok, a little off-topic, but did you know that you could get a 383 as a 'B' and an 'RB' engine?

That would be correct, Sir.

I happen to own a '75 Cordoba. But why would anybody put a 340 where a 440 fits just as well?

The B series engines were the first to be designed by the new corporate engineering department. The RB (“raised B”) arrived just one year after the launch of the B series engines, with the 413; just as all the B-engines had a 3.38-inch stroke, all the RB engines had a 3.75 inch stroke.

B Engine:

Bore Stroke CID

4.06" 3.375" 350

4.12" 3.375" 361

4.25" 3.375" 383

4.34" 3.375" 400

RB Engine:

Bore Stroke CID

4.18" 3.75" 413

4.25" 3.75" 426

4.32" 3.75" 440

4.03" 3.75" 383

See, a B as well as a RB 383.

The 383 cubic inch RB engine was only available in 1959-1960 in the US built Chrysler Windsor and Saratoga.
