You misread the ad.  He never mentioned it being a Hemi, just that it had the 18 spline Hemi 4 spd.  He mentioned the motor as a wedge.

[Ghoste]

Yes, he states its a wedge.  Badass car in black that way.

[tan top]

nice car from the pictures     , don't think its  426 RB wedge block though     thought they had !   as all RB blocks had  !  a pad on top of the motor left of the distributor  , cant see on the motor in the below picture  , might be a bored / stroked 383 or 400  

[Ghoste]

Doesn't Indy make a wedge block too?  Would it have the pad if it were theirs?

[BrianShaughnessy]

Um... looks like a 361/383/400 B block to me,  not a 413/426/440 RB.   BUT Indy used to sell 383's stroked out to 426 as crate motors.   

[JB400]

They do make the wedge block, but only for the 440 now.  I think at one point they did make a Max wedge engine.  Not + on that.

Nope did not misread the ad.....I know he said hemi 4 speed, 8 know he said wedge, I looked at the ad already and engine bay.  

But hey its a hemi with 500hp.....

Indy makes the "B" blocks.

[BIGBLCK11]

It looks like a nice, clean car.  Very cool, but I wouldn't pay 30k.

I was in the dentist last week with an ER root canal on a tooth that blew up.   She gave me a shot & it wasn't long & it wore off, high tolerance.  So after poke I felt better until all of a sudden she hit something.
The nurse gal, Dr. both jumped with me.  I told them "Et es agya genga"

With the rubber damn on my mouth & half my mouth numb translation, "That was a zinger!"

But the guy specifically states 426 Wedge so that's also likely what he would say in person. In your example, the commas are pauses so it would be clear that there's a gap between "426" and "Hemi". How can you be offended by a hypothetical situation any way? Do you also get confused when someone says "440, Hemi 4-speed, Dana" and tell them that Mopar never made a "440 Hemi"? In real life, it's very clear - especially if you've had a lot of exposure to Mopar people. I can't think of a single person I've ever met who says "426" when they mean Hemi and everyone with an earlier 426 always clarifies it with Max Wedge or Wedge. I guess you could argue that there's no such thing as a "Hemi 4-speed" - but that's the common term so I don't bother correcting people.

I don't think the car is worth $30k or someone would have bought it already. My dad and I both like the body style but it isn't popular with everybody so you can generally find pretty nice base model Coronets for cheap. That car has probably $12-15k in the drive train and, if it needed any body work, another $10-15k in paint so I don't know that you could build it for that price (unless you do most of it yourself).

Can i ask , ? what heads are those guys, are they indy's just looking at the fitting in end 

[Ghoste]

I think they are Indy's but I don't know the specific type.  Someone likely does.

[ACUDANUT]

Now I'm following you.  Thanks.

What do you expect with someone with a lol .74 Charger. 
It does say wedge. Maybe a 383/400 with a stroker kit ?
