Hi mike
     Thanks for the details, again an awesome running machine. One of the
64s I have is a 426 4 spd wedge car from the factory and I'm debating
whether to put a 426 wedge block that's been bored .100 (440 .030 over
pistons) for originality or take a 440 and stroke it. I'm concerned about
the amount of overbore on the orig 426 block (overheat not strong enough
etc). Anybody out there have suggestions. I haven't bought the 426 short
block yet, but it has the right casting numbers and date code for the car.
Anyone have experience with the 426 wedge blocks being bored out that much?

Ron
