yeah, I think theres a 426 which is just a wedge, not a max wedge? Or maybe not.

With the insurance I guess it depends on who you go to, but I've never been asked weather the engine (or any other part of the car) was original, just how big it is.

the problem I have is they already have it insured as a 318. So I have to ring up and tell them its not a 318, but some other size. There is also a tickbox which says "the vehicle does not differ from manufactured specifications" or words to that effect. I've had these discussions before with insurers, if its a like for like of an engine which was offered in that car then they seem happy, if not they start getting grumpy, now I could lie and say Plymouth did a 400" in '68 but if you start lying to your insurers you might as well go the whole hog and pretend its still got the 318 in it.

The other approach I could take is say "I've replaced the motor with one same as a '72 model Fury would have had" which is what I did with a previous insurer when I had a 2.3 out of an FE Victor in a FD Victor (?19 extra on the premium for that)

I'd kinda like a 383 or 440 as thats "right" for the car anyway.

Its all smoke in the wind until I know what motor George has dug up for me anyway. if its a 400 I'll have it and talk my insurers round I guess.

heh, yeah with all the extras on the mini Mopar (current and future) it was an extra ?30 (a bit of a shopping list). I'm sure you can work it out, if its a 400 it'd be worth it
