A 426!?!? The Elephant motor! Generation II! What would you do with it?
I've been looking for a stock 671 blower, one off of a Detroit Diesel. I think a blown hemi is about as awesome as you can get. He's got the 671, but I have a difficult time putting out $2500 for a blower. I'll wind up putting that much into a stock 671 to convert it to gas and get it working on a hemi!
There is a couple in the Philly area that are $800Yea, I don't have that sort of luck with finds. My best garage find was the socket I'd lost the year earlier. I did come across a really good deal on a few posi trac units a few years back...
I'd be interested at least to see what they'd want for a 671. Thanks.
If I could buy a true 426 Hemi of the late 60's and 1970-71 for only $10,000 I'd buy every one I could find plus pay a finders fee. The last one I lost because I asked for some "wiggle" room was $25,000 and it's been my standing offer ever since.About 10,000 is the going price of a 426 Hemi.
PLEASE! Let me in on where you can get a complete true 1966 to 1971, 426 cu in Street car block, intake to pan ( carbs are another fortune) and not trash, cracked or seized for $8K to $13k . I'll make a contract with you for a 20% finders fee .Holy Smokes! I'd love to have a 2nd gen Hemi car. Funny how things work out. I've seen 426's on line from $8000-$13000. And lots of stock and after market parts. There are even a few brand new blocks here and there.
I've read that the the only benefit of the 392 is the large cubes, the 354 actually is a better flowing engine. The 392 can take the abuse of drag racing, maybe just a bit thicker casting. Are there any benefits of the 426 over the 354 and 392 besides the cubes?
