Ford 427 SOHC engines

don't need much radiator if you're only going 1320 ft at a time and maybe its onloy got rear brakes, uh and a bag of laundry.

I really cannot believe that this one is still alive, that is one motor that got a whole lotta love for sure.

 

Actually it is revving without a load. The headers on about any mill will do that. That is why the paint typically burns off a set of headers when you break a cam in. I usually try to not paint the headers until after the cam is broken in on my personal cars.

 

That T Bird is well know in Denver and not for sale

 

It's sat there for years. Not enough room in the shop/

 

He rarely sells anything

 

Looks like it connected into the cowl area ......so's it could
"suck-off" the cool air in front of the windshield !
Suck'in-off is always a great idea....cool moving air vs hot under hood air is wayyy better.
By suck'in-it-off ...in front of the windshield...would that provide enough air to keep that big Holley happy?!

Yepp-er when I hit the PCH for 5 grand a week I'm gonna put one in a 64 Falcon with a 5 speed Lenco behind it.

That top shot of the street digger sure has gotten around! I took it at the '77 Nats at St. Paul - I think my follow-on close-up is around here somewhere...aha...

 

Are those dead rats in the scoop?

 

Red shop rags to keep the St. Paul dust out ... a hunk of cardboard to block off the carbs ... and a giant tarantula to dissuade the over-curious!

(To be honest, that's a scan of a photo from a negative that was grossly overexposed before I realized the battery in my light meter had died. Hey, I was a 19 year old geek in motorhead heaven...I wasn't paying attention to the details.)

 

It's a late model Mustang with a SOHC engine swap. Saw at Mecum Kissimmee.

 

Pretty sure this is the Stroehecker deuce roadster from Portland.

 

That means one will fit in my car...

 

Injection is nice, but......

 

Looks like General Jerry Lee went from the old ho-hum 392 Hemi to a little Ford power for his wheel stander. Must be nice....

 

So, what's the scoop with those cam covers?

 

I wondered the same thing? I didn't see Jerry or Hoss around to ask them.

 

They look like something like what Blue Thunder would produce.

 

Great Video for any Cammer Lover

 

Thanks for posting the video, @loveoftiki . Love it! That Comet is sweet. ........Don.
