Re: 1965 500?

[Alex Ariemiea <ajaremea@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 426 wedge in my 64 has a  stamp pad marked  426 MAR, which means it a marine block. I would bet that the motor was changed at some time! Just like mine was. I would know because I'm the one who bought the motor from a friend who pulled the motor from the boat.  Had to get a 440 crank, heads and new cam  to put the motor in the car.          Alex

If it is a high performance street wedge the boss will be marked HP26.
That is how mine was marked.
