The 426 blocks and the Shortblock are now sold.

I crawled back and looked at the 413 Blocks and they
are indeed the thick Industrial Block with the extra ribbing.
They are 4.19 standard bore and really nice.

Gregg: Hot Tanked/Acid Washed/Pressure checked/Magged/
Sonic tested/ Carefully inspected and he kept only the best blocks
for his Stock/SS engine builds.
$400.00 each your choice or two for $700.00

I am dropping the price on the fully prepared 426 Race engines
to $1,500.00 your choice. They are fully Machined with all the special preparation
for NHRA competitive Stock/SS racing. I noticed they are ARP studded.
I would do $2,500. for two. My understanding is that they were produced from
rare 426 Industrial castings. But they are two bolt mains unlike the other 426
block that is cast ready for 4 bolt ($1,250). However, non of these blocks have
any casting number from the factory.

I wish I knew more about these parts, but while Gregg did all my machine work =
I have not raced a Max Wedge since Ray Christian bought my 64 Ply. A/SA at Winternationals
in 1977. I just never paid much attention to the Max Wedge stuff he was building
when I was there (Which was very often).

I will try to get the cranks out of the trailer soon = there are some Max Wedges in the pile.

Hey John, do you have any 440 forged cranks??, cheers Andre

 

[dodgeboy440]

The 426 Shortblock is 697 Casting 12/11/63
It says AAQA on the front. The pad is 426 TMP
and has valve notches on top of bore. Zero ridge or
taper and appears to have very little use. Max Wedge
crank with balance tabs and Max wedge rods.

I can not believe no one has even inquired on this shortblock.
Ten years ago it would have been worth twice this price.

Two 426 Standard 230 Blocks with no ridge and one 730 Standard 426
with VMP 426 on pad and AAQA on front and Valve notches on top of bore.
Standard and no ridge and honing still available.

They are now on Craiglist

Still NO PICTURES ………This IS what one looks like!

Yes both 440 and Max Wedge but shipping would be crazy.

Appreciate you help and interest.
However, I am pretty sure that I still remember what they look
like as I raced and built them ever since they were Brand New.

They allegedly had a few with single four barrels (never seen one) and all the rest were cross rams.
Never Inline Quads on them from the factory. Hard to see from the long range
pictures but the manifold does not appear to have the tall ports to accommodate
the Max Wedge way higher intake ports. Weiand made a special-order intake with
extra material cast into it (very Rare) in Mid 60s that could be ported by purchaser
in both inline and tunnel ram configurations. However, the manifold in the picture is
NOT one of those. Now as I look at your picture, there is not a Damn thing that indicate
that engine is a MAX WEDGE.

POSTED this LAST SATURDAY.

It was.
Now Deleted as parts sold and picked up.
More Max Wedge stuff next week if I have the
energy to go thru some more stuff.

All off the 426 Blocks and both Shortblocks were sold and picked up off the Craigslist ads
the first day or so. Unfortunately, the shipping is really expensive on this stuff, so it is
more desirable for West Coast guys who can pick it up.

Only things left in the 426 Blocks are FULLY blueprinted/machined for Stock/SS racing and pretty
much ready to assemble and go racing. Lowering the price to $1,500 or $2,500 for two.
They are the 2 bolt version but have ARP bolts. However, my understanding is that they are 426 industrial blocks to start with which is what Gregg preferred for racing (No casting numbers or marking whatsoever).

I forgot that the 426 block that has provisions for 4 bolt mains cast into it (No Casting numbers either).
It was allegedly the first run of the NASCAR blocks that some of were finished for Heavy Industrial use.
The deal fell through when the buyer found out that it was nearly $400. to ship to the East Coast.
I will reduce the price on this block to $950 and it is standard and really nice. I will deliver all these
things in the Southwest (Racing in Feb. in Arizona). Super Deal = Take ALL 5 Blocks for $4,000.00
and that would justify the cost of shipping them.

There has been a lot of discussion on this site in an earlier posting of this block.
