How are you feeling Wolfie? Still so much pain?
I loved calling officers sir it means urinal in portugese!
If one of us on the right coast bought it we could hook my car trailer to Hoppies Motorhome and have ourselves a "retrieval day"
And stop and see Chris for a few minutes!
You have the cool one, hey we have Restore the RV day at your house next time!
And pick up International Scout parts!
That's right! I forgot it was here...LOL not!
You know we have to add time for beer stops also!
I love that North Korean News lady....she has a way of telling the news. And no I do not want to hit it.
Why not? You get the yellow fever shot?
Upppp Matt Lauer is going down now. Who is next?
Every one on this thread?
Hmmmmm..........
How about more then one word ? I like it, and it looks like there is more then 13 Grand in work and matt, this would make a great ride (driver not so much) to some MoPar meets
Chop and channel
HMM a community car hauler!
I helped build about three of these back in the day, fun to build and when it gets down to int work its fun to say the least
Closest I ever came to something like that was a 66 Monaco wagon I welded the rear doors closed and ran the back window to the front door post, a lot of work to say the least could not even imagine stretching a car!
I have a 62 max wedge 413 block. Just a bare block complete with all the markings. But I need the top end about 5000 in machining to big it back to life.
Dam yhats too much in machining, cant find one better?
nope, not even close.
Actually the max wedge blocks ARE different. the 413 max wedge block required cylinder notching to allow clearance for the much bigger valves of the Max Wedge heads. The blocks were also cast at a special foundry with tighter tolerances in order to ensure strength. Every max wedge block was specifically checked to ensure no voids in the metal happened during casting. If they were, the blocks were sent to be scrapped. Though some, if the voids or other flaws were minor enough, were sent to be industrial engines. For a 413 to be a max wedge block, it must have 3 things, the cylinder notching, AAQA casting letters on the block exterior, the ID pad will be stamped 413 HP in large, bond letters. You cannot put max wedge heads on a standard 413 block unless you have a machine shop correctly notch the bores. The valves WILL hit otherwise.
The 426 max wedge block differs just a little bit from the regular 426 wedge block in that the Max wedge block had extra strengthening ribs cast in the block. Whats interesting is that the block was so strong, they later took the 426 Max Wedge Block and used it as the core block for the 426 Hemi. Course water passages, oil passages and bolt holes etc were different on the hemi block, but they all started as the same core.
Also one last note, not only did the max wedge get forged components but the forged cranks used called for a slightly higher nickle content in the max wedge cranks. Thought process was the nickle would all for a higher tensile psi than a standard forged RB crank.
original 413 max wedge blocks are even rarer than hemi blocks...... I watched one on evil bay go for 3500 in the same shape as mine. Mine is virgin block, but the problem is it was left taken apart, exposed to the elements in a dirt floor barn i pulled it from. It's VERY rusty. It'd have to be sonic checked, sleeved, line honed, water and oil passages extruded honed, decked, lifter bores machined. and then since the sleeves would take the notches out, i'd have to have the sleeves notched. 1500 alone to do that.
Ouch, hey you would know any farm equipment have mopar motors?
