Re: 426 SW



Ron - I would say you have a mw block there.  I think the valve reliefs are the only difference between the mw and sw blocks.  Of course, the assembled mw engines had higher compression pistons, etc...  But the blocks are probably the same other than the reliefs.  Could be possible that someone put them in there after the fact?
