That also had a strange I'd pad if I remember and you where adamant it was a genuine max wedge Block......seems very peculiar considering the other parts in the auction look legit?(that fan & clutch are rare), also the sumps correct with the obvious mod they did back then.... I don't think it will find a high price but there is still some nice parts. One thing I just noticed....look at the intake bolt hole,it has no chamfer ,also notice around the distributor boss!! That looks like it's been machined down?? 8411573-image.jpg (109 downloads) Last edited by ossietim; 01/29/15 05:52 AM.

As far as what you "remember" about an older post I made, please post a link so any potential questions can be properly addressed. Read my previous post carefully.....I am NOT saying the ebay block is legit or fake, just pointing out my observations. I would not suggest anyone buy it as an original without a closer look. The examples of other legit blocks should give you plenty of reasons to doubt it.

Those are replacement TRW's from the 70's There was a small run run of Maxi blocks in about 71 for Nascar and NHRA . IIRC about 100 were made. Last edited by mike s; 01/29/15 04:09 PM.

If the flywheel is still on , check and see which side of the ring gear teeth are scalloped and compare it with a known engine rotation .
