Re: heads




If he used the S.W. heads, you have some SERIOUS restriction of flow between the intake and heads. The Maxxie head ports are at least a 1/4 inch wider and 1/2 taller and I am just going off memory. It may be more than that. I cannot say I ever tried to see if the bolt patterns matched up or not. My guess is not, but I am guessing. I know for a fact that the Edelbrock STR14 crossram will fit the S.W. heads and it works great. I run one on my stroker 440 engine with ported 906's and it is perfect street car or bracket car. Others will have to chime in on this to be more exact.

Have a good holiday,
Donnie

The car came with a 426 street wedge and four barrel, now has a crossram on it, I was thinking that the previous owner, used the sw heads. But you say they won't fit the crossram right? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donnie Schanz Jr" <dcs426@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Yes, the ports are huge when compared to a 426 S.W. or a 440. If you have an aftermarket intake or factory single four, you have 426 S.W. heads. There are no other intakes except the factory crossram and a few Indy pieces that fit.

From Mopar Muscle:

Max Wedge heads are easily identifiable by the lack of a heat cross-over passage, large 1.88-inch exhaust valves, and very large ports. Casting numbers for the Max Wedge heads end in either 286, 209, or 518


Akron Don

There are no heat riser ports on a max wedge head. The area between the two center intake parts should have no openings.

Then there's the casting number which is located in the valve springs area. I'm sure there's a listing of head casting numbers somewhere on the 62-65 website.
