It was not the max version. Single 4bbl and 10.3 compression. Still it was strong.

That would have been a sweet truck to have.

Same power as the car 426 Wedge.

Note that the 426 wedge was just a slight overbore of the 413 – and before long they learned how to cast with an even larger bore, creating the 440.

Sleeper.

That was a Custom Sport Special package, known to us Sweptliners as the CSS. Very desirable in our community.

There was another package, I can't remember what it was now. Very uncommon and highly desirable. HPP or something like that?

Yeah, the High Performance Package, 1965 Custom Sports Special - High Performance Package

Ram performance.

I think their title is a bit misleading as is is a 426 Wedge, not a 426 Hemi as the link's title implies. Still an incredibly cool truck that had little chance of hooking up on those skinny, rock hard bias ply tires!

Motor Trend apparently doesn't realize there was a 426 Wedge engine for a few years, see my prior post and link for history.

Also note three engines for the Custom Sport Special. One was a slant six, roughly 90hp by today's standards (140 bhp then). One was the 318.

A buddy of mine who worked at the Tech Center with me had a 65 Satellite with the Street Wedge 426........................365 HP.

I used to drive a 62 Savoy max wedge 413. Came from factory with cast headers down to three inch caps just behind the front wheel and duals to the back. Two AFB Carter's on a log ram in a very light body.
