I don't know much about the street wedge, but I have heard the (413)
Max Wedge and the (426) Max Wedge stage II and III were about as good
as you could get, at the time. Supposed to be tempermental on the street,
but a good race motor. I recently spent some time researching these things
as I got an e-mail from an acquaintance in Florida whose neighbor was trying
to sell a 413 Max Wedge that was running when he pulled it out of the car
many years ago. He gave me the numbers on the block, and when I ran them
found out that it wasn't a Max Wedge, or even a 413 - it was a 361 with
the "SonoRamic Commando" cross ram intake. After they went back to the
neighbor with that info, he happened to remember that he pulled it out
of a truck. :-P Oh well - the gas to drive down and pick it up would
have been more than I can get an HP 440 for locally.
Ummm, I'm not sure what my point was, except maybe that old Mopars are
cool, and its past my bedtime. :-) Good night!
