First advice - don't mess up an original 426W car. There weren't that many and they do and will command a premium. I don't speak as an expert but a 100 over 426 is probably going to be too thin a wall. I've have a .070 413 to make it a 426 and that seems to be acceptable from what I have read over the years. I suggest you look into ultrasound testing with someone who understands the signifcance of the data if you are going to go that route. Or find a 440 and save that correct date coded 426..
