RE: test and tune

[Ron Soldani <ronsold102@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good plan and thx for the feedback. The 426 is already assembled with the 30
over 440 pistons, so I'm thinking I would have to buy it to have it sonic
tested. No matter what I will be putting it back as close to orig as
possible. Will need to also put inner fenders on it cuz they cut them out
for fender hdrs when raced.

Ron, You really don't say if want to race or just have a a original looking
426 street cruiser. If I had that car and I wish I did this is my
suggestion. I would make it a original looking motor, as the possible
selling price would be great with a correct date block. As segested, I would
ask the seller if you could take the motor to a mach. shop and have it
ultrasound tested and his opinion and the over bore. You just say block, so
you still need crank manifold and such. I would get a 440 block and dual
carb set up to look like a max wedge,for that WOW factor at the car shows,
but also keep a eye out for a better 426 correct date block. then sell the
440 set up to pay for the 426 and get the correct look for the car. John
Wask..
