I will get some pics of it as soon as I find my Camera. I set it down in one of the sheds or trailers and its gone. The search has been going on for a while. Once I have pics you can let me know.

If they are not Hemi's they are wedges. 273-360's and 383-440's It was just a name to promote performance sales. 340 wedge, 413 wedge, 426 wedge. They were stickers is all. They are all the same. A 70 340 is no different then a 71 340 wedge. And so on. A Max Wedge is no different then a Ram Charger.
Okay....here's my take on the difference between an original 426 Hemi and a "RB Hemi".......
An original 426 Hemi is indeed a "raised block"....as far as the distance between the center line of the crankshaft and the surface of the deck. An ORIGINAL 426 Hemi also has the cross-drilled main caps which make it a special block.
A "RB Hemi" is a 413, 426, or 440 "RB" block with a hemi-head conversion. This particular set-up does NOT have the cross-drilled main caps. It would have the standard two bolt main caps.

I realize what you are trying to say, but part of your statement might mislead people. A "max wedge" is hardly a "sticker is all"
There was a discussion on a board the other day about an alleged "maxi" (no photos, OF COURSE) and it became clear that some people don't seem to know what a "max" wedge actually IS. I know YOU know this, but a max is about as "the same" as an everyday wedge as a "boss" is close to a 302 2bbl
Maybe it's a California Emission Engine from 1962..........:cheers:
That should end this thread..........

when you guys get a chance,try and name the 30-40 changes to the hemi block as compared to the RB block,and give me a call,mrmopartech
California,didn't require PCV until 65,as per California law.
anybody heard of the 440 ball-stud hemi developed and never made it to production.
426 hemi is a RB engine.

I guess what makes a 426 hemi block is casting numbers. Didnt hemi blocks have 1/2 inch pickups though?
waggin
moving on ain't easy if you drive a Ford :p
cross drilled crankshaft......main caps arent drilled......correct me if i'm wrong

the a 999 had some issues and then the idea got scrapped before it came into play about when the hemi got banned for nascar was gonna be a bad boy too
Waggin,dead on the money. I forgot that.

I know I'm right....
stage V hemi conversion heads are more expensive than MP crate Hemi heads now, pretty much dried that market out fast. I think speed shops are making 426 hemis out of gen 3's now with stroked cranks.

I have a particular affection for that issue of Hot Rod Magazine.
My dad has a large write up on his 1959 Plymouth in that issue. It's titled:
"Hot Prospect: Plymouth's new 361" Bill LaRoy suprises the best competition with an engine they said "wouldn't run"---the wedged-chambered Plymouth V8.
The car set a record at Bonneville in 1959, when it ran a two way average of 150.251 MPH.

FWIW, Pro Stock racers John Hagen and Charlie Malyuke developed and ran low deck Hemis in Pro Stock and even set a record! Don't recall if they used 383 or 400 blocks and don't recall the finished cubic inches, but I believe they were in the 366-394" range. Lots of work, but cool stuff .Got the info somewhere but don't have time to search.
