Well you’re pretty much at the limit I would tolerate. Others may chime in. What’s the outside temperature when you’re at 220. Is it really hot outside?
Was really hot the other day, 35 or more probly. But a couple days later back down below 30 and still ran up to 220.
I’ll try and get some answers on this later in the week, likely won’t have the car out again before Friday unfortunately.
86F-95F is pretty darn hot. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. You could always try some water wetter to cool in down a tad.
Ya that’s hot, I always feel bad not taking the opportunity to drive it when I can. Winter always feels like it’s right around the corner.
Or punch it to 4.25 and use 383 pistons, change stroke (4.15) or rod length (7.200) and deck block to zero deck height. Makes 471 or 426 cubes respectively
Nice looking 64 man! Here is a photo of my 64 Polara's new 440. My 426 wedge had a cracked water jacket while racing it. Good luck with your 413.
Fan is a 7 blade steel Chrysler fan and sits about 2” off the rad.
That looks great
So you don’t have a shroud? Get one.
Got a look at that casting number on the block while I was under the car today, 2468030. As far as I can tell it just tells me it’s a 413RB engine, anyway to tell what car it may have came out of originally?
I have a book that lists all casting numbers including blocks, heads, intakes, etc. for '60s era mopars. I'm in the process of moving so it might take a day or two to find it. Someone else should also have one. Some probably could tell you off the top of their head what that casting number is for. I also have found that my book has some errors. It tells me that, according to the block casting number, my '64 426 street wedge block is for a 383. The block is definitely a 426.
If you find the book and can share any info that would be appreciated, always enjoy learning new things about my car and these old b bodies in general.
