Hi Guys, I am in process of moving my shop and so am readdressing all my parts and stuff. I have an old industrial Hemi engine that I bought from that guy in Texas who had a yellow Townwagon or Carryall with a hotrod motor in it and he was also in process at the time of putting a 440 Hemi I believe in a FlatFender. (know who that is?) Long story short. I don't remember what this engine is. How do you tell? Where are the numbers? What is the difference between the industrial and truck engines? Is it worth messing with or should I just put it on ebay or something. Not that I'm going to do anything right now but I hate not knowing what I have. I know I wanted it pretty bad at that point but I can't remember why. Getting older and things are not as clear as they once were.;) I also have an industrial 413 that looks like it is in good shape. I seem to remember things like sodium filled exhaust valves and timing gears instead of a timing chain and the like making the industrials serious work horses.
Thanks
