A real race car, nice job. Dyno Don also won a record 78 races with 427 cammer power. This engine sent the 426 hemi home early in almost every mid sixtys race.

@pomposo11...Dude..your grammar is in real trouble..it's not your..it's either you are or you're...so..who is the dumass now??

[raginroadrunner]

@MrMelon49...where is hancock and delta???

[MrMelon49]

@raginroadrunner Yes, he runs Catfish Engineering an exhaust and maintenance shop at Hancock & Delta. Moved there from Fountain, CO a while back. They jacked his lease up so high he had no choice but to move. I was disappointed he had to part company with his chassis dyno when he moved.

this looks like the series 2 camera...high spark plugs.....good engine and again..Ford screwed it up...

@MrMelon49 ...was this the Rick Hern from colorado springs???

[MrMelon49]

I'm a GM guy. Call me crazy, but the cammer is one of three FORD engines I ever cared for. The others are the 302 BOSS and the German 2.0L Pinto engine. Catfish does all my exhaust work and Rick Hearn, an original T-Bolt owner, did cammer funnies back in the day. He still has the cammer tech manual, I am permitted to absorb it when I go there. Back in the day I saw a cammer short block and heads for sale at Gratiot, $2,200. Champagne vice Beer. :)

@raginroadrunner Its a shame that stupid people like you are allowed to use a computer. Your stupid!

[raginroadrunner]

when it comes to drag racing..Ford is a dismal failure..they have the absolute worst racing management team in the business. They don't do anything in racing and I always ask myself why I buy their products although lately we have switched to Mopar...whoever runs the drag racing show for Ford needs to be fired on the spot...what a disgrace....disgusting...and it doesn't bother them,,screw em..I'm going to Mopar..

@carpnter2000 Saw Richey in Denver with the Green fastback..sure ran the chivvies off..
