Don't think you could run 11.90's with the factory.480/.460 bump-stick.
Knew there had to be some trick with Grotheer and Stahl, leaving the line
straight and not going up in smoke, and not sending out a driveshaft

X-Tech,
Did anybody in Mopar ever try to get the 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury or Dodge Polara cars legal with the early 64' 426/385HP (Nascar) Max-wedge engine into NHRA..
11.0-1 pistons, Stage III Max-Wedge heads,.520 solid-lift camshaft, Nascar DP aluminum intake and single Holley Model #4160 (860cfm) w/center-feed inlet (part# 2532095)
Would have fallen nicely into the 8.70-9.49 wt/hp break. Would have
been a perfect A/Stocker for 1964/65, and B/Stocker for 66' instead of the over-rated 426/365HP Street-Wedge over-rated at 365HP. T
The 426/385HP would have been one great street/strip engine.

R/T.
Max-Wedge Stage III heads had bigger ports, added bridging for the deck surface,
2.08 intakes/1.88 exhaust valves, crescent-shaped combustion chambers and the sides of the combustion chamber (intake side) cut for improved flow, as well as an additional 0-degree
top dress angle on the valve seats, and the heat cross-over port removed/closed. An easy
40HP+ over stock cylinder heads.
The combo wasnt listed in the guide back in that era. If anyone ever tried to get them listed as stock I never heard about it. Never saw one either except at a NASCAR race.
