Mmm dodge actually isn't an American company.. their cummins engine comes from Volvo

[The302bossmustang]

no american company like ford, dodge or chevy would ever own a rice burner like toyota.

Actually the Ford Cammer had 800 hp, and the Chrysler which was 1 CI less had around 700 hp, he Cammer was downgrated to low 700hp's from regulations and eventually 600's.

@godsmack8807 And yet the two pickups are identical (or were). What a coincidence.

@cincyblows Toyota is not made by Ford Toyota is made by Toyota.

@SecularTechnology Hmm. Something is weird here. The 426 dohc never ran uinder its own power, but was estimated to produce over 700 hp. That was the street version. (Gotta get the ice cream home before it melts.) Ford says the cammer made 616 hp. I remember that distinctly. That should be easy to google. I'm going by old car magazines quoting Ford engineers. A shame that the cammer 427 kept breaking timing chains and the 426 dohc never got past initial r&d (kept breaking tappet carriers).

@cincyblows

That's strange beause it was tested at 800 horses, but was downgraded to 700 when it entered racing I was a youngin at that time but I still remember. Where did you get this Ford figure? I think think the equivalent Chrysler also produced 800 Hp.

@SecularTechnology It's my understanding that the cammer 427 produced 616 horsepower. That's a Ford figure. Bill France Sr. banned all cammer engines because he believed that the fans wouldn't be able to identify with comparatively exotic engines. Considering tire/car/track technology of the time, it was a wise choice.

The cammer engines were, however, brilliant performers.
