Hey Paul, doesn't the 426 Street wedge use the 1.60" exhaust valve and only get .430" lift? I looked at this combo.for 1965, but the car was heavy (3750?) so I dismissed it as being too hard to make hp with the cam lift, heads and poor intake manifold and AFB carb.

If you have any experience with this combo I'd love to hear more about it. My original thought was it would be inexpensive and durable as it would surely be a low rpm motor and would last much longer then something being spun at high rpms. My fear was making enough stream to be viable.

It is 3415 In G/SA, the exhaust valve and cam lift wont hurt it much. It gets great intake manifolds. The carburetor is the most limiting factor. 10 Second car the right hands. These cars flat out work for big cars. As some may say its no dime rocket but you do get what you pay for in cool factor.

Thanks Paul, appreciate the response. Not sure where I came up with that weight number, was scary for sure LOL!

I have a 65 4 door which engine would you suggest 426-383-273? Is the aluminum head viable?
