Thanks; Prematurely, I thought I was going to need them, but turns out, a set of 2406518-1 heads are already on the engine. These heads have 6 valve cover bolts vs 4 so I'm assuming they are a later 64 version. I don't yet know if they are the legit original or reproduction. If reproduction, would it have this casting number on it?

Could really use some Mopar knowledge, I'm bidding on a Max Wedge Intake with casting number 2402726-1, want to make sure it is the correct intake for my application. Nearest I can tell, the current engine has 2406730 block with 2406518 heads, do I have a Max Wedge motor? The intake has a date casting of 1 5 63. Is this the correct manifold for the 426 MW?
What intake is on there?? What kind of valley pan/ plate ?

I have no idea what the current manifold is, I'm going to pull it apart this weekend and try to identify. Block, heads and exhaust manifolds all indicate a Max Wedge, but this intake manifold has me questioning what motor I truly have. Were there options to put a single carb manifold on a max wedge motor?
Very limited.. and from the small bit we can see ,looksike a dual plane? There was a Nascar single 4 with built in plate. Or someone welded and enlarged th ports of a stock port.. or maybe an indy dual plane..
The valley pan should tell us. Peel off the aircleaner and snap some pics!

So after tearing down the top end, I do not have the correct Max Wedge heads. What a bummer! Also, if anyone comes across a guy called Mopar Mayhem on Facebook selling original Mopar Parts out of Webster Kentucky, he is a scammer. He got me for $500, tough lesson to learn. He is using the name Terry. Beware!!!
A little late with the Welcome to FBBO from Connecticut. Nice car!

Thank you. It's been a long time dream to own one, has a great wedge motor but not Max Wedge. Finding the ingredients to convert are frustrating

I finally found a set of 518 heads and the correct cross ram intake manifold for a Max Wedge engine. All going on a 440/512 stroker. I'm struggling with the decision to run carburetors or running EFI's. My understanding is carburetors are great if running wide open but not so great driving to the local cafe every weekend. Anyone have advise or experience with the Max Wedge engines?

Welcome aboard from the Pacific Northwest. Early B bodies rock and yours looks beautiful. This site lives for pictures.
Welcome! The max wedge racing package was actually not designed to go to local cafes on the weekend! Local dragstrips instead!

Greetings and welcome! You may be happier on the street using the 440 version of the maxy intake on regular 440 port heads. That's what I run. No issues in heavy traffic. Can cruise all day.
