I know all you guys have good advice and opinions about  things Mopar.  So
let me ask a question as to your views on putting a 426  Hemi (425 horse,
dual
quad type) vs. a 426 or 413 Max Wedge Stage III in a '64  Polara.  I know
the
torque and HP curves for them, but I am interested in  the streetability and
driveability of these engine setups.  I like to  drive my cars and don't
like
cars that won't start easily, idle dependably, or  stall frequently.  And I
like
an engine that is dependable and not too  cantankerous and needing lots of
attention.  Given that, I would be  interested in your opinions of which
would
be best for a street car.   Thanks.
