In regards to the Mopar 65' 426-S Street-Wedge.
I'm wondering how it came up with 365HP, or was it just massaging the truth.
The 1966 440 was rated at 350HP, with identical equipment,
(compression ratio, cylinder heads, carburetor and camshaft)
Actually the 440 camshaft had (.012) more lift on exhaust.
Seems to me the 426-S Street Wedge should have been rated
much lower. Not that it would have mattered.

The Boss 302. I don't think anybody saw them doing much at the track either. What did they run,,, H/Stock or SS/J.?
