You do NOT want to go through the MAX WEDGE hassles when you can simply equal or surpass Max Wedge performance with tried and true standard wedge components. There's a ton of stuff out there.
And since there was no Max Wedge in '65, you're not concerned about authenticity, why not go the 440 route. It's actually cheaper to build from a 440 from a 426.
How far do you want to push the hp envelope? The maximum comfortable street hp can be achieved with what you got w/o going the MW route.

finding out your right

I am seeing that your right after researching and visiting a mopar junkyard near my house. A set of flow masters and leave it the way it is,, thanks

That's what I'm here for.
And welcome to our insane asylum.

i was able to find headers, Hedman makes them but not on their website, you have to go to a hedman dealer, 625ish for bare metal and 800 for ceramic coated, ouch

I have no opinion between header manufacturers but some guys here like tti headers better.

 

[johnniesrotten]

I did not see them listed for a '65 in TTI, American Speed Center said they can get the Hedmann though

I did post some, look under the Tires Suspention Thread, its a 426 Wedge factory 4 speed. Not Concours quality but on a 1 to 10 I would give it a 7. Gonna try to take it to Carlisle but I am not gonna put it in the car Corral because I am not really all that interested in selling it. Might consider some kind of trade though

very nice car! sport fury!, 426!!! factory 4spd!!!! I love it, can we see the interior? what gears in the rear?

Pretty sure I was parked beside you at Carlisle with the wagon.

Nice car.

That Max wedge stuff isn't for a Street Wedge which is what you have. Ports are much smaller on yours and won't match up with the intake. A+A makes a reproduction intake for normal port heads but it is mucho $$.

i have learned this and its staying basically stock, no, I was sandwiched between 2 Polaras, one a convert and the other a Purple one, only thing I might do is look for some alumn heads, but I am keeping it all, I would love to find a Demon but people want crazy prices. This is one bad *** Sport FUry.

The "C" in "C-bodies" stands for "cocaine".

 

[moper]
