FOR SALE - May 1969 date Code 426 Hemi

I may have found one locally. It's in a running car. MP iron block, MP iron heads, says it has a solid lifter racer brown cam , stock bore and stroke. I'll keep this updated. I spoke to him today, trying to arrange for me to go see it run soon

Good luck! Watching for updates!

I like in the car and running, fewer stories that way.

Me too. He’s moving up to bigger hp all aluminum stroker.

Well that deal is dead lol. Turns out he didn’t want to part with it.

So… I’m back to building one I think. I’m so uncomfortable having this done out of state where I can’t drop in and see progress. Id like to have someone on Long Island build one for me. Even upstate ny as I have family up there and can make excuses to go.

I realize it’s a niche and not every shop knows how to build one properly. I’m still exploring

I saw that one in mesa listed on a fb group … my problem is I don’t trust anyone. Nothing personal against that seller but I find it hard to believe a word anyone says. Shame too. The one in mesa date matches my car. Mine is a late year 68 build

This one in Mesa sold locally.

I know exactly how you feel. I would not go to another state where you can't drop by and see progress.
I will reccomend MERKEL Racing Engines .
Scott is a dealer here on the Island for many suppliers from block,heads and rotating assembly .Complete machine shop. He will give you a turn key dynoed engine that you helped spec and pick parts at a good price.
Merkel put this blown stroker pump gas engine together 10 years ago.

Thanks. He’s 10 min from my shop in Bohemia.

Any advice from anyone I'm going to install a 472 Indy aluminum hemi with tti headers and tremec 5 speed in my 1970 Charger RT 440 k member with 4speed in spring. I really am hoping to put it in from top as a unit. Thank you in advance.

Headers placed in the car, either pull the front shocks out or take the valvecovers off especially on the right side. Pull battery tray out as well. Probably done it 20 times, no issues. If it has a deep pan it's a bit trickier, just take your time and watch the firewall and the wiring on the firewall.

Thank you very much I appreciate it!

I have done this very thing with one of my 1970 Charger R/T's using Schumacher conversion engine mounts. Everything bolted right in and no clearance issues using stock dual four street Hemi intake, Carter carbs and stock oval air cleaner assembly.

Did you use tremec 5speed and drop in from top as a unit?

IMO, if going from the top I would add the trans afterwards in the car. If you want to do it complete I would do so from the bottom. It's a lot of expensive stuff hanging there and you have to angle it really steeply to snake the trans in while trying not to hit anything.
