Max wedge or Hemi ?

Gary,

It's even harder to get the passengers side valve cover off to adjust the roller rockers.

Max Wedge car.....It's too easy to change plugs on hemi cars...:huh:

The plugs maybe, but to take off the valve cover on the pass side for a valve adjustment, not so easy

I have to drop the entire engine to clear the boss on the fire wall on the pass side, no fun!

I'm a wedge kinda guy...

Since it would be a week end toy i'd say HEMI.... Big valve covers are cool.

I like the Hemi but I only can afford the WEDGE!

I'd take the wedge. That way I could call my garage the maxi-pad.

Im having trouble picking myself.. i have 413 wedge for 500 or a 440 for 1000 ... both stock and basically running order..

for a 65 dart

For drool appeal, it would have to be the Hemi...seeing those huge valve covers is impressive!

If you wanna go fast and have the bucks to build a hemi, go hemi. And if you don't go wedge.

With todays after market stuff you can go just as fast with either motor, but the wedge will cost less...

I will take either one that you wannta give me !

Dodge 330 · Apr 6, 2015

I like both.

It's like asking a man to choose between a gorgeous blonde and a gorgeous brunette.

I'd take both if I could find the right body...:icon_profileright:

Before Chrysler unleashed the 426 Hemi , the Max Wedge was the BEAST that RULED :icon_eyes: early race history! These cars were factory built race cars that were sold to people , "Ready to Race". :tongue:

Sonny takes the Max Wedge.....almost a tie...BUT!!!...Maxie wins

I like them both. I have one wedge 440 in my 64 but I have a 392 hemi in my 40 brand X.

Centerline · Apr 11, 2015

For a street rod I prefer an early hemi... but for an early "B" body like my '64 Polara in the background.... gotta be a Wedge.

Having both makes for a tuff decision, but with both being 4-speed, the Max Wedge you can drive any where. The Race Hemi on the street is almost too much. But I never get tired of taking them out for a drive.
