Hey GN7

[gn7]

On strait methanol or race gas/av gas none of the Hemi's OR a wedge head could touch a SOHC... Apparently on fuel however the factory 427 iron blocks couldn't handle the power that was unleashed with the flow/RPM of the SOHC heads... THey did have PLENTY of success where there was a supply of blocks from FOMOCO:

Don't try to school me on M/Ts Mustang Bruce. I spent a whole summer chasing that thing from track to track. I was there when that thing went 211 @ 7.11 at Irwindale and set the Funny car class on its head. It also lost the block on the run or the next. No matter, he had plenty of them as Ford was shoving them out the door to make room for the Boss, WHICH BY THE WAY M/T SWITCHED TO IN 1970, ALONG WITH KALITTA. The SOHC was DEAD!!! 1 year with the SOHC was enough!!!



Then he REALLY wised up, and ran a Pontiac with a Dodge hemi.
