Holy hell that's huge.

427 Cammer. Also known as the 427 SOHC (Single Over head Cam) engine. THE only engine to ever be outlawed by NASCAR because of it's unfair advantage. They made these for over the counter in 1965, 66 and '67 because they couldn't race them in NASCAR they never put them in cars. I brought it to my house on Sat and my poor old 4x4 ranger was hurting a bit because of the weight.

Just drop one of those into a Dodge Charger Daytona and Nascar will really flip out, that is if you have a time machine to go back to 1966

 

[Dave94LX]

So the big question... what's the HP/TQ rating on this beast?

 

[BOSS302man]

IIRC it's something like 650 HP with the two 4 barrell set up with 600+ torque and that was in crate form back in the mid sixties.

 

[BOSS302man]

Oh, and this will be dyno'd at some point soon, so we'll know the exact HP/torque at the flywhell before we drop it in the car.

 

[Dave94LX]

I wonder if there is an exploded diagram anywhere? I would be interested in seeing just how it's set up.

Ford's 427 SOHC were rated a 616 horsepower @ 7000 and 515 ft/lbs @ 3800.

fitting that in a escort are we?

I believe that was the one 4 barrell version. I'm pretty sure the 2 x 4 barrel version was 650 or so. This engine is the 2 4V. The extra carb added 50 HP. You could be right about the torque, I always thought they were 50 less on the torque than HP.

True that is for the single 4 barrel engine. The 2X4 barrel engine produced 657 horsepower @ 7500 rpm and 575 ft/lbs @ 4200 rpm.

 

[Jeffescortlx]

Why is the valve cover so wide? It still only has 2 valves per cylender right?

 

[Bear45-70]

Here's why.

 

[Jeffescortlx]

ohh.

 

[Dave94LX]

I got to see this bad boy in person yesterday. Randy pulled the valve cover off one side, so I could check things out. This engine is VERY impressive. Can't wait to hear it run!

 

[Chaos9218]

Damn that thing looks crazy! so how long till its finished?

 

[BOSS302man]

Hopefully by Fall. I have 2 other cars to work on in between.

 

[BOSS302man]

Oh, and I spent about half an hour cleaning Dave's drool off the 'small' block.....
