The 413 is out of a 1972 Dodge motor home. The heads look different than the car version, and the waterpump is completely different. I was told this same engine was used as a gasser in medium duty Mack trucks also.
It would bolt into the W500 fairly easily, but with 6.88 gears and 900-20 tires, it's a lot of wasted horsepower. The 318 poly would be a relatively easier bolt in to either truck, but I fear that in the WDX, the GCVWR and the 1100-16, 4.89 gears would be a strain on the smaller engine.
