The Coronet's 1966 426 Wedge engine is now pretty complete and ready for installation. Now I know some Mopar experts will say I painted it the wrong color but if you have been following along, you'll know that this Coronet's 426 Wedge engine came from Chrysler Orange! It was hand installed by Chrysler off the assembly line since they were not set up for it and some modifications had to be made to fit it in the new 1966 body. There was not a "numbers matching" motor for this build as they would have built it from left over stock 1965 and older. There is no records of what year the block was or what was done internally to it. Based on the original owners recollection, it had "more power" then other 426 wedge rides. I believe based on the purpose of its build, they most likely beefed it up or possible used the Max Wedge internals. This motor was built with a high compression and a few mild goodies close to what I believe it may have had.
