I find this hard to beleive, in 66 I had a 65 fury lll, with a 426 street  
wedge, and 4 speed, my friend at that time tried to order a new 66 sport 
fury  with the same engine and tranny combo as mine, and was told it would not 
be  available for the 66 model year and that he would have the choices of 
440,  hemi,,, or any of the smaller engines,,and I have as of yet to see any  
Cbody/imperials with a street wedge in them,,,,

the 440  was not available til 1966 model year and from what i have heard 
through  numerous sources and investigation the 426 was installed in 66 
models for the  first 9 weeks when the hp motor was ordered  until they depleted 
the  stock of 426 wedges then the new for 1966 440 wedge was installed so 
you could  ultimately have a 1966 with a factory installed 426 wedge motor if 
it was one  of the very early 66 model but you couldnt get a 1965 model with 
the 440 as  they didnt start building them till into the 66 model year!i 
have a 1966 fury  with the factory 440 and have done a bit of research on the 
440 motor perhaps  you could have got a warranty replacement 440 motor for 
the 65 which may have  been substituted for the 426 would be the only way i 
would think that you  would have had a factory/dealer installed 440 in a 1965 
model and that is just  speculation
