| Prime time Max Wedge themed engines await installation in customer cars. Bob likes to use original 413 and 426 blocks when they’re available but has no problem basing the works on a 440. He’ll even add a 500-cube stroker package if the customer desires. Likewise, heads and induction are based on original Max Wedge castings or brand new goodies from A&A and Mopar Performance. | Don’t ask Bob to build a ’62 or ’63 with a Hemi, but he’ll happily oblige on ’64 and ’65 projects. Built by Dale Reed, here’s the standard 547-inch Hemi stroker Bob installs in most ’65 cars that leave his shop. Based on new Mopar Performance blocks with Stage V Engineering heads and A&A cross rams, these orange monsters belt out nearly 700 horsepower on pump gas. |
Every where you look, there’s some cool goodie lurking. We spotted this Maxie induction in a corner of the office. It’s a genuine 1962 casting, the carbs are new Edelbrock 750’s - with the red tags removed. Dig the repop ’63 Dodge Max Wedge owners manual supplement.
Since the 727 Torqueflite was a key ingredient in the success of the original Max Wedge and Race Hemi package cars – competing GM and Ford automatic transmissions were a generation behind – most of Mosher’s creations are so equipped. Being a purist, Bob refuses to install post-’65 lever-controlled Torqueflites because they don’t mate with the 1962-1964 pushbutton controls, or the 1965-specific A990 column shift setup. This collection of cable-operated 727 cores will keep Bob supplied for a while to come. Bob admits he’s looking into the cable-to-lever adapter kits offered by Imperial Services so 1966-up 727’s can be used in the future. He knows, sooner or later, the supply of cable operated 727’s will dry up.
