What's it Worth What exactly is this 426 engine and what is it worth?

1965 426 engine. Not a wedge engine? I can see it's an HP, what horsepower is it? Any info appreciated.

"What is it worth?", off of that info? Okay. Five bucks. It could be a bare block with a cylinder blown out, and main caps missing. What I see is worth five bucks scrap weight.
How about a pic of the whole engine, casting # casting date, etc.

No expert, but I thought the Hemis had a unique stamp font. Pure guessing I'd say a 426 street wedge

That’s a wedge block. Notice the valley pan gasket and retaining bolt. The valley pan retaining strap is missing.

From the information on the pad shown, and as mostly already described, the engine is as follows:

A=1965
426 = 426 wedge ( H 426 denotes the Hemi)
HP = High Performance, aka Street Wedge
4 1 = April 1st 1965 build date
2 = Second shift on that build date

April 1 assembly date...that's funny...when I read the OPs post and one pic, I thought it was a April fools joke...just a trifle early
