If the Hemi had been produced with 440 inches under it then no one would have ever accused it of haveing less TQ than the 440 wedge. Just like how the 426 wedge or max wedge is no comparison for the 426 hemi.

That may be a VERY GOOD observation, Dave! But, history does serve well, since Michigan bred "street racer/class racer" Jimmy Addison has proven that
theory with the famed "Silver Bullet" (67' 480+ cube HEMI powered GTX). And as for a comparision between the two types of 426 cube motors, again it depends on how quick you want to run. On the street, wedge motors are cheap to build and they do RUN HARD. But for the "upper" brackets and
class racing ("for the money"), the HEMI will get you the green and the respect ...all for a small
investment though. IMO, a BIG CUBE Maxie Wedge would be far MORE FUN to drive on the street and race at the track. Best of both worlds, and can do it on "pump gas"!! That is my
