Mack has always been known for build to order customized trucks. Many gas powered Mack’s left the factory as per customer specifications. The 413 was a popular engine and I am sure was an option to power a Mack R model. I know that some B Fire Aperatus models oferred the 413.
Mack 285 Engine

I had a Mack R688 with a 285 Engine set up in a wrecker. Had an air shift Maxitorque 5+1. It offered 3 reverse speeds! Anyway, also have a Mack CH613 1996 wrecker. The R688 with 285 pulled more weight, but never could do more than 48-52 MPH empty or loaded! The CH613 pulls loads easily up hills at 62-66 MPH. CH613 is a Mack Super 10.
