1966 64 Dodge running a "Street Ram" 426. Purchased from Grand Spalding Dodge ( actually have the bill of sale with "Mr. Norm" being the sales man ). Car ran a best of 12.85 completely stock except for a gear and slicks. US30 drag strip, Wisconsin. Curious, what was a "Street Ram" engine combo? The "street ram" wedge was introduced in 1964,65 in B-body cars only. It was basically an increased bore version of the 413 single 4 brrl carbed engine. Not much similarity to the 426 max wedge motors. Smaller heads, exhaust manifolds, hydraulic cam, single 4 brrl cast iron intake. Very streetable and could still run in the high 12's. Pretty awesome for the day, and not too shabby for today. Wow...yea, not too shabby! What rear gear?? 4.56 posi in a 8 3/4 diff.
Fastest 300
