64 max wedges were stamped MP, and all the 426 street wedges that I have seen are stamped HP. It is a pretty small sample size though.

The 426 SW in my '65 Monaco is stamped with HP. At Carlisle approximately 10 or so years ago was a '65 Coronet(if memory serves me) and it had a 426 SW. I asked the owner if I could look at the engine plate and it was NOT stamped with the HP.

Yours is a max wedge for sure
The V stands for 1964. The 42 is 426 displacement.

No they were not. See my post(#4) above. Don't know the numbers on how many were or were not but I witnessed at least one that did NOT have HP stamped on it.

For reference only:
This block came out of a 65 Monoco. The guy that I bought it from pulled it out himself so I know it’s origin.
This block is a 64 B-body. I say B-body since the largest engine in a C-body at that time was the 413.
