426 V MP HC
426= Displacement
V= 1964
MP= Maximum Performance (Max Wedge)
HC= High Compression (12.5-1)
It's a late '64 casting. Since the Hemi had already been introduced, a casting that late probably didn't make it into a car.
Right, it's either a later replacement engine (pretty rare) or someone has had thier way with the numbers stamps... Post some pics of the stampings and I can probably tell you which one you have.
