413 440 crankshaft

[MoparNorm]

That's my dream truck! A 440 powered W500! I'm envious of you.

I have a 440, 338 HP version that I was going to install in my W200.
After reading and learning about the Poly that was in it, and reading about Polys nearly beating 440's in drag races with nearly the same amount of torque, I stayed with a 330 HP, 375 ft. lbs, Poly A318.
Now I have a near equal motor that gets nearly 20 mpg....= )
Just have to find a project for the 440 now.....= )

My thing is I've already got the 440 and it sure ain't stock! I'm just wanting something bigger than my W200 clubcab & stay Dodge. I've been eyeballing 5 & 10 ton military 6x6's & bobbers though, something about 53" tires & 855 or 903 motors appeals more to me than a superduty,z71, or megacab....I could see a poly hang with a STOCK 440 in a drag race, its mainly about power/weight ratio....Anyhow I think SHAMROCK"s a nice project going & something ya don't see everyday

The crank should fit OK but I would be afraid of the engine balance being off. Are you leaving the 440 pistons and rods in and just switching cranks? If the 440 is a good running engine then I would switch the external stuff like your water pump and exhaust manifolds and go with the pilot bearing adapter as mentioned before.

Gotta agree, that seems to cut to the chase with the least amount of hassle & expense.

Going to use the 413 crank

going to use 440 steel crank internally balanced, with the proper harmonic balancer what i'm looking for is all the cooling and low end torque I can get I need it to pull my back hoe around. california is changing all the rules on diesel trucks now. need something before 1975 smog law and gasoline so I don't have to comply with the new carl moyer jack off law, that these dumb *** beaurocrats in sacramento came up with.
this state is too big for these hollywood homosexuals to handle anymore there I said it yeah!!

...or a pre 2006 Cummins, that would do nicely and be exempt in any Pre- 2006 Dodge...= )
There is more than one way to skin a cat, just check the regulations....they are not retroactive...yet.

Carl moyer act

Anything over 14,000 cgvw is going to have all the particulate
filters required by these j.o"s regardless of the year it looks like a chemistry set on the truck with urea filter and all the crap

Retro-active?
I can't believe that is even legal. Are they going to reimburse you for your loss?
Seems to me, per the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, that making your property unusable, violates the "takings" clause of the 1st amendment, which prohibits the taking of property without just compensation.
Not that I'd expect the socialist state government to be smart enough to know that...
