Our first SOB was powered by a 413.
I thought it had more torque then the 440 in our second SOB
May we just liked the first SOB better?

Body was two piece fiberglass with a seam down the middle if I remember, pretty well insulated. Many fond memories travelling up the coast and thru the rockies in ours. We also spent a lot of time admiring GMC's from afar.

Wasn't the 413 a B engine? The 440 was an RB, with the longer stroke. Both fine engines though.
