I loved the Pintos, Vegas, 303 powered Rocket 88's, and Corvairs back in the IHRA day's. Three of the "old" IHRA Stock killers with "odd balls" were Ray Head in a 1960 impala 283 2bbl., Randall Campbell (a current NHRA runner) in his inline six nova wagon, and J.T. Allan in his 200" V6 Malibu. I know Randall and Ray both won IHRA Stock Championships, and I am pretty Sure J.T. Allen got a crown also. These guys cut a 00 light every run and you could see the tail light glow as they cross the finish line. Back then It was how you drove, not how fast you ran. I for one would love to see more of these car built. I miss the diversity that was present back in the day.

I remember catching J.T with the wrong pistons in his V-6. They were for another engine combo and had a much smaller dish C.C. volume at Bristol. He never came back and I heard he went boating. Must have embarrassed him pretty badly.....LOL
Randall and Ray always were straight shooters and were tough racers.

Correct. There were some HD-413's with two barrels in the Late-60's/Early-70's as well.

Nothing from 413 HD above block will interchange with passenger car engines...Heads and Manifolds are way taller/Different water pump arrangement too.

[Steve Stasko]

I know the heads, exhaust, and water pump are different...but I don't see why the intake wouldn't work unless the intake face angle is different from other RB engines?

[GTX JOHN]

413HD Heads are way taller........Never tried the manifold on passenger car engine but they appear different in position.

It has been over 10 years since I sold my last 413HD!

It does not show 413 2 Brl in class guide for any vehicle.

Dad bought a 67 New Yorker for parts, had the 440-2 barrel, closed chamber heads (915) with the small exhaust valve, small cam. I used those heads after putting in the 1.74 ex on my 383 in the Duster.

The only mopar 2 bbl. on a RB motor I've ever seen was on the 383 RB version. A two year deal for 59-60 Windsor.

413 had a 2v on dump trucks and school busses.

Got me second guessing myself now, been 48 years. Did do some checking earlier and can't find a good reference to it.

Yes, GTX John mentioned the industrial versions.
