1964 426-S 'Street-Wedge'

Chris Barnes · 08-30-2011, 02:06 PM

The latest issue of Mopar Action has a cool feature on a street wedge Dodge. They had "oiling issues" presumably due to their 4 quart oil pans. The physical casting of the block is comparatively fragile. The intake sucks and the carb is that infernal 525 cfm AFB that we had to dump ungodly amounts of money into to make work on our 383 H/SA car.

John Winslow runs a good looking '65 Coronet 426 Street Wedge in Super Stock out of Division 7. John isn't a rich guy but he lives in a hot bed for Mopar Stock/Super Stock and was still unable to make the combo work for Stock. It has turned to be pretty good for Super Stock after years of work.

If I was going to run one on the street I would paint a healthy later 440 turquoise and hide a reasonable carb under a big black aircleaner...
