It took me a while, but here is the factory literature to confirm the engine pd info.

I can't wait to see what you post next! As far as the carbs, what date is on them? I can't tell from that picture. I have two sets, one E2 (May '62) and the set I posted the picture of H2 (Aug '62) and both are 3447S. Lots to learn about these old war horses and it's great to see parts...

Did you get the PM?

Here is a real 1964 Stage 3 intake, notice the slope circled here, compared to all 413-426 intakes prior to it with the sharper transition? Photo borrowed from the MW.com website

And here is a very early '63 426 MW block that I own. The first 426 MW was built on 8-26-62, this one is 9-1-62. The day/month/engine built style stamping started in December, '62.

And here is a 1964 11-1 low comp MW 426 blockpad in this case: 426 = displacement V= 1964 MP= max perf 12-December 10= 10th day 08 =8th engine assembled that day

A 413 MW block pad is stamped like this one that I owned

BTW- the id pad on your engine reads: 426 = displacement T = 1963 MP = Maximum Performance 3= March 16= 16th day 08= the 8th engine assembled that day Only the 426 MW engines in '63 and '64 were numbered that way. Cool in that it makes every max wedge a one of a kind, as no two...

Here is a assembly line correct 3447S carb

Didn't work like that, but many people think that makes sense, because it sounds good. The Stage 2 engine was not released until June '63, so where does that leave all of the earlier built '63 MW cars (August '62-May '63)? The stage 2 426 had some very minor improvements over the early 426...

That 3447 SA is a service replacement, otherwise, what a super nice 11.1 maxie engine! Having the original oilpan is very rare!

Weird, I tried to post a couple of links and this site won't allow it?

Here is the best write up I have seen regarding the differences... http://racehemi.maxwedge.com/topics/stages.php

Correct, the '62 was just the Super Stock and Ramcharger race package. The early 426 MW was just that, no stage reference yet until June when the Stage 2 pkg was announced, therefore, most folks call the pre-June, '63 MW cars as being Stage 1 equipped. The '63 Stage 3 intake is visually...

It is a Stage 1 intake. Stage 2 has the larger primaries for the 3705 carbs and the stage 3 has a different slope to the plenum. 413 MW are not stage one engines.

It get's rather tiring to hear that all of the time and "USUALLY" (not saying you don't), from people that are just rehashing what they have read on the 'net or have heard from others that have little, to no real experience with E-bodies. I have owned loads of A, B and E-bodies and I have good...

Very cool video and my 340 Swinger came with the same caps!
