Okay, let see some Cammers!!

I know there a some 427 SOHC powered rods out there so lets see 'em. That engine is on my bucket list to own, or at least a valve cover.

 

This is the only pic I have on my computer, visual sex! I'm with you, bucket list material for sure!

 

Hey Doc thanks for getting the ball rolling. Man that makes me friggen droooool!!!!

 

I don't have pics but there used to be one running around Toronto years ago. 1934 3-window (steel car, full fendered) with a SOHC, Nash 5 speed, spooled 9" etc. Tubbed and painted HOT pink. The car sat for a couple of years (rumoured money and family health probs) then disappeared. Supposedly went to the states. Always wondered what happened to it. The owner told me the engine came from Holman and Moody. It made the pages of Popular Hot Rodding at one time. Wish I new the month/year of the mag it was in. Very unique sounding engine ... had the cam(s) lope but sounded very smooth also.

 

Here's a Comet seen at a local cruise in earlier this year,

 

There was someone around here [center of CT that had a cammer in a 32 Coupe, haven't seen it in a few years..I have a blank for the name of the owner...Some one was making external belt drive bunch of years ago, that looked tough [FFF]..The pic of one that was on HRM cover in street trim looked neat..

 

Go to the 64/65Comets thread,alot of cammer photos. ROY.

Here's some pics I snagged from the listing

Speaking of Cammers, my ultimate "someday
when I win the lottery" and "money is no object"
(Yeah, right, like that's ever gonna' happen!
Ha! ) dream build would be a Bonneville-styled
chopped and slammed, '53 Studebaker coupe,
powered by an all aluminum, 'aftermarket
replica' 427 Cammer! Imagine 'tootleing down
to the grocery store' in that!!!

That motor always made the mopar boys a little nervous...

 

I bought an old willys the other day off eBay, are they special or something?

 

Man that Freddy Lorenzen car is SAWEEEEEEET!!

 

A picture of a model A I took from the Roundup in Austin One cool abone

 

That is cool!! Motor looks like a shotgun 429 though.... Or my glasses need to be cleaned....

 

Good morning all. Jim Green's Speed Shop Monroe WA. [formerly Lynnwood WA] that guy is really into those motors, has several cammer hot rods and the Assassin front engine dragster. I have not been to his new place, but I hear its pretty cool. John

 

Opps your right.

 

No biggie... It still looks cool!

 

Wish I knew were this one was.

 

WOW!!!!!!!!!!..I would walk from NY to get it and push it all the way back home whether it had wheels and tires or not.

 

Yeas I seen that pick before. I would luv to see rest of that bird, talkinn about need aload of cash, two rare items.

Naw.....'Panhead', old Willys are virtually
worthless. Actually, they're even less than
worthless and people are paying big money
nowadays, just to get rid of the damn things!
Especially the ultra-undesirable '37 through
'42 coupe models! Remember that old 1950's
song, "The Thing"? It's a little known
fact and long-held ''dirty little secret' within
the industry, that that song was actually
written about a guy trying to get rid of an
old Willys just like yours!!! Better save
yourself the shame and embarrassment of
having your buddies find out that you actually
bought one and send it to me (shipping and
customs clearance pre-paid of course!) for
safe and proper disposal. Being the remarkably
kind, caring and just generally, super all-round
incredibly nice guy that I am, I promise to be
discreet too and not tell anyone, or even
charge you for taking it off your hands!!!!

PS. To keep this post 'on topic' and to
help you out even further, if ya' throw
in a fresh, blown and injected Cammer
for me to stuff into that Willys, I'll even
waive the shipping and customs fees
entirely!

It is on the north side of Denver

Here's some 'cammer shots. The red one I built, the others were at other shops I stop by.

 

Here's some pics of Jim Green's Assassin SOHC dragster (widely agreed to be one of the most beautiful FEDs ever) and some engines in his shop. He had a 34 tudor (green, of course) with a tilt-up body powered by SOHC).
