RE: Hemi vs. Max Wedge

[Dave Isle <mnwildpunk@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have to agree with Don on this one. I knew someone who had a Max wedge, he was just a shadetree like most of us. He was always having a bear of a getting it to run correctly. As for the Hemi I don't know of anyone personally who has one. But I have been to Mopars in the park and a few other shows talked to guys and Street drivibility and Hemi don't not belong in the same sentance! from what they have told me.      

Catch you on the flip side

Not as cool for sure, but very dependable with today's junk gasoline.
Alot of these guys know how to make a Maxie run...but they can be very danged
difficult for the average shade tree mechanic. Then you have the cost of max
wedge and hemi parts. That's not much fun even in a recession. Enjoy your
ride, Donny, 64 Belvedere

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.
