It has already been identified as an RB industrial engine. B series are 350, 361, 383 and 400. RB series are 413, 426 and 440.

Boat anchor? What?!?! Lol. Admittedly the old industrial engines are not very powerful but they have tons of torque for a gas V8, work hard without overheating and generally have low compression so they will run on whatever watered-down gas is put in them. Of course anything from a 440...

I asked around a bit and so far no one remembers the name of the dealership in Lynchburg. If I can find out I'll post it up.

That was Dressler Motors here in town. I worked for them for many years. I was the Parts Manager in the early to mid '90s for the Dressler family. It was my nagging that got the owners son and then Dealer Principal to pull the Daytona down from storage upstairs and let me clean it up and put...

Perhaps, but I would hazard to say that most Max Wedge engines had 4 bolt valve covers. The originals did for sure and I have seen several Stage III 426 engines that still use the 4 bolt covers.

Billy Bobbed, if you can check for the ID pad on one of the two areas labeled in the pic below, you will be able to positively ID that engine. (Pic swiped from Year One Inc.)

I would disagree. I have seen several RB engines with 2BBL carbs. 007 is the fender tag code for a 413 2BBL engine in '64, 082 is the code for a 426 2BBL engine in '64 and '65. Also, early '60s RB engines did come with 4 bolt valve covers. FelPro still carries the gaskets for them. The...

You are mostly correct. Mopar industrial and marine engines were offered in all of the common sizes, both small block and big block. The 360, 361, 413 and 440 were the most common. Not all industrial engines came with the odd water pump housing and heads though most of the medium truck...

That's definitely a Mopar big block. It's hard to say from the pics which one it is. If it's a raised deck (RB) big block it will have a flat machined surface about 2" square right behind the water pump tot he drivers side, even with the intake mounting surface that will be stamped with...
