Thinking 100 actually
i figured you all were grabbing a box of tissues and some lotion to go view Hoppy's pic above...... dirty old men lol
yeah as a starting point not bad.
Starting point 65! That's rough for sure.
Sent him a e mail see what happens. I have to do some research not familiar with them at all, just cool to say I have a 426!
Why oh why is it always me? Like a diversion from yall?
true but 426 wedges dont fall off the trees much. I doubt he'd even think about an option under 100. And around here, big blocks like that go for 300ish.

I get it - it's cool and all, but unless you're going to DO something with it - it's a boat anchor...
not much special about a standard 426 wedge. Just a bigger bore 413 RB block, and a smaller bore than a 440. Parts interchange mostly between the 3 as the bores are literally the only physical differences between the block. There were some variations in heads and intakes and exhausts depending on applications. all were factory 4 barrels
kind of like my 413 MAX wedge block. thing is 10 times rougher than that 426 wedge block hoppy looking at
It would be a rebuild over time for a spare for the pop. Defiantly needs boring, new heads and that is if the block checks out ok, crap shoot for sure.
Mike you ever get anything back from rock auto?
yeah, i just blew the pics up on the big monitor, you're right, it's actually closer to the same shape of my 413 maxie than I initially thought. yeah, 100 bucks tops.

probably because of the hood... 
man, hoppy, my mind been buzzing in circles ever since that phone call yesterday, Ive been playing in my mind over and over and over how to approach my CO and 1Sgt about it
You don't need that in the shower silly he has soap on a rope!
Tell them it is very inconvenient and a financial burden to drill there with the lack of lodging etc, you are entertaining moving to a guard facility closer.
I am still amazed they do not put you up over the drill weekends.
yeah but that wouldnt fly. I think the career path change is probably gonna be my best argument for it. Course, then I have to get the wifey on board. I dont know which is gonna be harder to do.....
What are you doing? Saw a few posts but not sure.
oh and the drive to the air guard base is gonna be roughly the same lol
