I forgot something that will make everyone go weak all at once..The boss, Keith Hazell came out in the shop one afternoon and asked if anyone wanted to buy a SOHC engine, complete with headers, carb, starter and bell housing, clutch, ready to bolt in..They were on pallets and Ford said to get rid of them, for, are you ready? $1000.00 each..brand new..and I only made $132.50 a week with a new house and kid..needless to say, they went fast..

Interesting comment, a $1000 bucks for a 427 SOHC motor...when brand new 426 Hemi's were around $700-$800 dollar option back then to order one in a vehicle.
