Episode 9 : Measuring the Max Wedge for a Street 440
May. 27,2022
The Mopar Max Wedge head was once considered all but unobtanium. The aftermarket has finally come to the rescue, making Max Wedge heads that are both available and affordable. On this episode of Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL, we've got an example of a 270cc Trick Flow unit to see if the Max Wedge style, with its bigger intake runners and more direct flow path, are really a worthwhile upgrade for YOUR typical street/strip big-block.
