Unfired 1963 Daytona Max Wedge

The log style exhaust manifolds and what appears to be a PCV on the passenger side valve cover don't seem very NASCAR to me. The VC issue is an easy fix. Bending tubes for the exhaust is going to be difficult, but not impossible.

[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]The casting numbers for most RB, B, LA heads are found in two places. On the underside of the head on an intake runner, and under the valve cover on an intake runner. It may be necessary to remove the rockers and rocker shaft to get a clear reading. The casting for the head[/FONT] for a 62-63 Max Wedge is 2402286. The casting number for the block should be 2406730, so that part of the claim seems to be good. Given what a restored Max Wedge car is going for at auction, the block alone may be worth $30k to someone who is trying to complete a resto.

The B/W from Hot Rod illustrates a single quad NASCAR RB engine. The color shot of the Hemi illustrates the air cleaner housing style that has been kicking around stock car racing since Bill France was doodling on napkins in his kitchen. The engine breathes through the cowl.
