Hello I am on a mission for a max wedge clone . I want to have a motor built. I live next door to BIR in Brainerd Mn. I here a lot of comments about builders. The ones I here about are there with there cars. KRTE was there during the nationals. They are probably all good. I am on a learning curve. Any input? Thanks

Welcome to the dark side. I cannot recommend a builder but there are plenty of folks here who can. You may want to post in the 62-65 or engine forum on FBBO. Good luck.

Is money no object? Do you have anything to work with or are you starting from scratch? And welcome to the site!

What year car are you looking at for your clone? There are a lot of little things you need to consider in addition to just max wedge motor. Examples wiring harnesses, shiftr cables, acceleraor cable. Brake lines, trans dipstck tube if you are running an automatic. Complete max wedge exhaust system, headers or max wedge exhaust manifolds. If you narrow things down we'll be able to help out better.
