Now that's a motor. Good to see it out and driven again

what's up with the right-hand drive?

Nice car! Thanks for not putting in some Corvette engine and sticking with a Ford. Nothing worse than a Chevy engine in a Ford car.

For those looking for SOHC 427s DOVE engineering in the USA is making just about everything you need, and in alloy. just go searching.

This engine was built for NASCAR in 1964. Chrysler used the 426 hemi in 63 and embarrassed the Ford camp at Daytona with their hemi engine. The following year Ford countered with the 427 SOHC hemi engine. It was shot down by Bill France Sr. It never saw a NASCAR race, but it saw plenty of duty in drag racing, Top Fuel and A/FX or Prostock Racing. This engine dominated in this era. It sent many mopar 426 hemi's home early.Sadly it never saw a production car. Google the engine, it's still made.

I too would really like to know where people are finding these 427 cammers at Ive read all about them and done all the research but Ive never been able to find one... and I think my 68 f-100 custom cab deserves this under the hood. not that theres anything wrong with 450hp 390

How the hell do people stumble across those motors!?
