I'm piecing together a MW motor. I picked up this 62 413 block that has what I think are all the right features but, is the font correct? The only other 413 I have to compare it to is a motor I got from Cliiff Sebring's wagon that he said he got from Vignogna's Behemoth wagon. Any help would greatly appreciated.

The 029 block is the right number for a 62 max, and the 7-14-62 font is correct. The reliefs for the big exhausts look factory too, and they were only on max blocks. The other block doesn't look right to me, block casting number is not right, numbers on pad are ?.
Pic is the font and date on my 63 426 max.
Edit : aaqa is also confirmation , mine has aaqa too .

First block looks OK second could be marine or industrial
 
Thank you for your responses. I never would have thought I'd come across a std. bore MW block. It just goes to show you never know. Now to find some pistons.

According to stockmopar.com the 2406730 block is a 63-65 426.

Yep, sure is. The 426 block is mine, posted just to compare font on the number pad. Op found a real 413 max block, 1852029, wondering if legit. With factory looking reliefs making it a max, rather than a truck block, I say legit. And I'm envious, I've got a 62.
