If anyone is interested in the in-line Ford Carbs send me a message. I have a friend who has two that were left over from a speed shop we had back in 1970's. In recent months he has talked about selling those. I will try to get a photo

To compete with the Chrysler Hemi in 1964, Ford secretly developed an overhead cam version of the high-performance FE block, the legendary 427 SOHC. Built by hand and designed for racing, it became known as the Cammer. Hemispherical chambers and overhead cams transformed the 427 into a serious powerplant. Factory ratings were 615 hp @ 7000 rpm with a single 4-barrel, and 657 hp @ 7500 with dual carburetors. The engine weighed 680 pounds.

Does anyone here know how many of these units Ford built?

Anyone have any pics of the experimental SBC with BBC heads. I saw a pic and article a long while back.

My "old guy" memory thinks 650 for some reason. They were offered as a crate motor and were never put into production.

Correct me if this is incorrect.

Here's another old photo of some 427 SOHC motors in a warehouse...

D5 Hemi block and one less D5 piston. Not many D5 blocks floating around. I've seen a couple sets of heads, but the blocks seem to be non-existant.

Early attempt at making a V-2 Hemi engine. This was before CNC machines became common place. Saw a block in half by giving it to a TF driver.
