Thanks Don I agree with what you have said. Unfortunately the 426 block has
already been hogged out. I just haven't bought it yet because of the over
bore. I also have a 62 413 block, but am wary about taking it .070 and it's
not the 426 block the car came with. The car is in the registry and was #10
of 13 426 single 4 bbl. Cars according to Covier(sp). If I don't buy the 426
block I will probably have to go the stroked 440 route due to cost and
unavailability of original 426 wedge blocks. Unless some one has a 426 wedge
block out there.

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..

Anyone have experience with the 426 wedge blocks
