The Max Wedge was a race-only version of the 426 wedge engine offered from the factory. Known as the Super Stock Plymouth and Ramcharger Dodge, the Max wedge featured high flow cylinder heads developed through state of the art( at the time) airflow testing.[4] They had 1⅞ inch exhaust valves that required that the cylinder bores be notched for clearance. The blocks were a special severe duty casting with larger oil feed passages than other RB engines and the blocks were stress relieved by the factory. Induction came by means of a cross ram intake manifold tuned for peak power above 4000 rpm and two Carter AFB-3447SA 4 barrel carburetors. The Max Wedge also included high-flow cast iron exhaust manifolds that, on the later versions, resembled steel tube headers. The Max Wedge was factory rated at 415 or 425 bhp (309 or 317 kW) (depending on compression), and 480a ft·lbf (650 N·m) at 4400 rpm.
In 1972, changes were made to the system of measuring power of vehicle engines from gross (engine only, without air cleaner, exhaust system, alternator, or other power-consuming components) to net (with alternator, air cleaner, mufflers, and other vehicle equipment installed). The new rating system produced lower, more realistic numbers for any given engine. At the same time, emissions regulations were demanding cleaner exhaust. Engines including the 440 were made with reduced compression, modified cam timing, and other tuning measures to comply with the newly-tightened emissions regulations. The 1972 440 produced 335r bhp (2501 kW) (gross) at 4400 rpm; the new net rating was 225o hp (1680 kW)—which very closely coincided with period German DIN ratings and TÜV measurements.
The B-400 is a simple, yet robust synthesizer that provides a myriad of minor tonal variations to a core sound that falls somewhere in between an electronic piano and a basic poly- synth. This VST utilizes three oscillators (with 32 waveforms each) as well as a leslie / vibrato style flutter engine output as well as two other main output channels; one being a simple clean out, and the other a tube simulator with a 3-Band EQ. Each oscillator is able to be coarse tuned. Special thanks goes to Etric Van Mayer for his excellent Oscil8R SE oscillator module.
Purchasing ice machines and storage bins separately can be a real headache for business owners, as several models aren’t compatible with each other and each has a specific ice output or storage amount that figures into which individual units will pair up best for the business’s personal needs. Manitowoc’s B-400 ice storage bin eliminates a lot of that headache. This 290-lb. storage bin is compatible with nine different series of the Manitowoc ice machine label. Of these, only two require an adapter. If you know you need to store approximately 300 pounds of ice at any given time, purchasing this storage bin eliminates a lot of hassle. Just figure out your daily output needs and match this bin with the appropriate ice machine.
