Gn 227 Long Beach Final 2017 bad ass "HOTBOAT" video

[2manymustangs]

hey 2MM !,
As fate would have it, you bring up the subject of Ford's 427 "Cammer" SOHC engine, and , ( I think I told you this in Long Beach ), I am currently working on one of these that is in an AFX Mustang factory drag car. I have started to take photos of the build. The engine has been mocked up for various clearance checking purposes, and is apart currently to alter the valve notches in the Arias slugs. I will be posting photos and info on it as final assembly comes around. Few engine guys ever get their hands on one of these beauties, so I'm really enjoying the work and will share the build. I know you appreciate this engine.....and for those who aren't familiar with Fords much, FEs or SOHCs, hold on to your butts. ( photo is not of the car I'm building for, but is same overall build )

Thanks for keeping me/us up to date sir... I was just thinking about what you were telling me at the Friday Night boat show...

I've seen ONE of these engines in real life... As per my understanding, Ed Pink was the guy that was able to make the cammers a success on the strip as a fuel engine, and primarily only needed the super strength timing chain... Seems that a cross bolted deep skirt standard bore 427 block is a pretty stout piece when set up properly...

THIS is the guy that had one of the over the counter cammers, he also has a stockpile of top end pieces and sources for any 427/FE parts you may need... Good guy for sure: http://www.ford6v.com/ford6vtech/joebunetic.htm
