Today is 4/26......so how about a 426?


Recommended Posts

Sam...what you have there is probably a 392 Hemi.....an easy way to tell is that the earlier Hemi's up to 392 had the distributor on the back of the block. The 426 has it on the front....there are other differences as well and many folks confuse the two simply because of the big valve covers. They are both Chrysler Hemi's but different engines!

Oops! Looks like you're right. That hemi was in my old parts box from the 1960's and I didn't know what it came from to identify it. The distributor location should have told me it wasn't a 426. Sorry.
