413 propane irregation engine WIW

Friend cleaning out barn wanted to know what if any value all there including propane carb.
Ran when removed for diesel.

From a machine shop, labor and parts point of view, it is better suited to prop the barn door open.

If it runs? I'd keep it. What year is it ? Might have a forged crankshaft. Bore it out to a std. 383 bore and you have a 426!

 

[furious70]

it'd be worth the effort to take the crank out.
depending on the year, the heads might be worth having.

I have 2 440 irrigation engines. I'd done some research, seems like the industrial engines were premium engines, supposedly with a higher nickel content block. The one I tore apart 440 2 barrel with propane carb. Double roller timing chain, windage tray and an extended flange crank with 8 bolt holes, not tapped, had bolts and nuts behind the crank flange. They have a huge flywheel.
To use one in a car you would have to swap out the crank unless you are using the old cast iron Torqueflight.

Scratch what I said if it's got an oddball crank like that.

Bet it has adjustable rockers. Friend gave me two 413 marine engines rotted by saltwater forged cranks and adj rockers, sorry I tossed the rods.

My 440's both have stamped rockers. I know there were a lot more 413's used than 440's in industrial form.

Depends if it is a industrial 413 or out of a car. A lot of car engines were repurposed for irrigation engines. Water pump is pretty obvious. Industrial water pump is higher with bigger bearings. Some industrial engines have a sae bellhousing and you can use a allison transmission or a hd truck tranny. They aren't real desirable any more, but would give a older straight truck some pep. Seen them not running for 100-200. Running 500-700 depending on condition. Be a great donor for a old classic truck. Heck of a lot better then a 361 industrial.

 

[Cranky]

Isn't the industrial water pump the same as the ones that they used on some motorhomes with the ports also go on to the heads?

 

[6t4polara]

Engine pad just has a B stamped on it.
Located South Western Michigan, couple hundred will buy it or best offer.
PM me for contact info.

 

[Don Frelier]

Then it's a low deck engine.

 

[6t4polara]

B wouldn't that mean 1966 just guessing.

 

[lemondana]

Both of my 440 irrigation engines have the standard car heads and regular water pump housing. The water pump has a grease zerk in it though.
