Pretty awesome. Not sure it's worth 40K but I guess it could be depending on level of fit and finish.

Not sure about the Twisted part, but 440 is a Mopar big block.
Wedge heads were what they called some of the non-hemi Mopar blocks, due to the wedge shaped combustion chambers.

Is there any kind of benefit to a "wedge shaped" engine ? :wat:

It's just the heads that create the "wedge" shape (the valves are canted at an angle vs being flat with the piston), and technically, most modern heads have a wedge shaped combustion chamber. The benefits are increased squish area (flat part of piston meets flat part of head), which helps with efficiency and power. This was a bit radical in the 50's when they first came out. The intention was to replace the Hemi with these, but the Hemi kept performing, so it continued. Many argue that a wedge can be just as powerful as a Hemi.

I actually saw that car at a used dealership for sale looking exactly like that a year ago, and he bought it just like that. I remember the add saying $25,000 of mods dumped into this. No built not bought scenepoints for the seller.
