After rereading your post I see that you say it was a single 4 MW engine, I
have only known of one that was still on the street, and ole Don was
running one, I had talked to him about it once, I had seen a single 4 MW intake
on ebay that went for big bucks, and he confirmed that it was an OEM part
for me, I have a feeling that you would be able to come up with a good 426
block long before you find another single 4 intake for one,,,,,,,,,,,,,good
luck with what ever your direction is

You still have not said what your intentions for the car are, and with out
knowing what direction you are headed it is hard to give advice as to the
best way to go, I personally would probably go with a stock 440 block,
and
start gathering all of the max wedge parts I could find for it, with the
hopes of coming across a 426 block some day at which time the MW parts
could
be switched over to, I think that you will find a 440 with a MW top end
on
it to be beefy enough to supply plenty of fun as a weekend racer, and
lots
of OHHHs in it for the cruises when you open your hood

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..
