A friend has a Shelby Cobra with a SOHC 427 FE Ford in it. After a little shop work, we went for a ride. I took a few videos and spliced them together into this.

  • @jeepers2655  Just the Sohc motor.

  • what is 1 worth? there is 1 at the Columbus, oh. racers swap up for Auction Sunday.

  • As I understand it the 2-427's Shelby built for himself and Bil Cosby had SOHC's and automatic transmissions. I asked Carrol about it at Laguna years ago during a Aston event and all he did was smile, never awnsered me on that question. Who knows. Dyno. I own 4 of these engines still. my first one Dynoed at SJSU in the aero dept in 1981 at 701 HP on 105 gas with accs at the flywheel, Factory was labeled at 616 hp, Biggest issue, stock cam chains were gone in about 3 hours of run time.

  • @smdumod123 why is it everyone has to argue with me about this.. seriously watch the american muscle car video I linked.. I doubt a show like that would lie about horsepower. If you cant believe that, well them Im sorry for you

  • @jaratt85 yes the rating was low... but not that low. i came across a digital image of a dodge dyno sheet for a street hemi in a charger and the factory had dynoed it at 433.3 at the rear wheels so i would suspect 500 give or take at the flywheel. the only hemi to produce 800 (that was bult by mopar not an engine builder) is the dohc hemi and only 1 exists

  • @68bobba check out 2:20 on /watch?v=eIU0tFA3bKM

  • @jaratt85 the 528 crate Hemi is supposed to make 610hp.....so your saying the original street Hemi made over 800hp?.....doesn,t sound quite right mate...I think you may have that arse about

  • talk about an engine that needs to be reproduced.. as long as they can keep the original power alive. thats the thing that bugs me the most about the 528 HEMI its 102 ci bigger yet its over 200hp less than a original street 426 (and Im not talking the factory lowball rating for insurance purposes)

  • I didn't think it was possible to stuff a cammer in a cobra. Must be the funnest car on earth.

  • @Avatarblackwolf Yes that is a great movie, have it in my collection.

    A Chevrolet Dealer in South Amboy, New Jersey run the original Sea to Shining Sea Race, and they had a Chevy short wheel base V8 van with 100 gallon gas tank. It has printed on the side, POLISH RACING TEAM, BRIGGS CHEVROLET !.. If you know the dealer. They sold a ton of of Muscle Cars in Central New Jersey in the 60's, and early 70's
