Help to ID very Strange 426 Wedge Block
I found this fresh 426 Standard Bore block in my late
friends Shop (Tri City Perf) along with a bunch of regular
426 blocks. Greg (RIP) was a top Max wedge engine builder
and racer for decades.
It has provisions for 4 bolt mains but does not have them.
It has a lot of support ribbing that I have never seen on any
block in 60 years. I have seen a lot including Marine/Industrial/Race
blocks but nothing quite like this!
It is very heavy compared to my other blocks and very beefy!!
Perhaps aftermarket or a factory race block?
I appreciate any help as I have a Giant shop full of his stuff
to identify and sort out! It is rather overwhelming for me
and I am not a novice on Mopar race stuff.
