Pedantry aside, the point remains. Whether banned by prior restraint or after the fact, the net result was stifling of automotive engineering excellence in America.
Fk NASCAR NHRA excepted these and guy's like Connie and Don won with these motors. NASCAR knew Ford would kick the sht our of anyone with this motor after the bugs were worked out.
@@eddieaustinbex I got a model from the 60’s of the 427 motor that my grandfather bought gave to my dad and after a flood ravaged my state in 2016 he gave it to me I love that motor
Ford should have kept building and refining the SOHC engine, it wasn't banned for drag racing, and their engine technology would have stayed ahead of Chrysler and GM for years. Nice badass scammer sound.
No, it wasn’t banned from drag racing just impractical. The engine suffered from timing chain stretching under load, same as the 3 valve engine of today. In nitro drag racing according to engine builder Ed Pink the engine suffered unequal timing from one bank to the other. Even with specialized replacement chromoly chains it wasn’t equal from bank to bank. Chains needed replacement from round to round making it too difficult & expensive to be practical compared with the Hemi engines.
@@AmazingBlaze0 hence the word “grandfather” the SOHC 427 is Ford first ohc v8. Both are ohc but coyote are DOHC it’s basic knowledge. You could say 4.6 is but the Cammer was born in the 60s
BIGFOOT had a 427 from a drag boat I believe it was. Hell of an engine. I think when they tried nitro with them the block would fail but definitely a ba engine.
When you realize spark plug location then is very similar to the way Ford has been doing things for the past 15-20 years lately. I'm gonna call this plug location up high and more vertical in regards to combustion chamber. This configuration is placing the plug tip on an angle to the cyl deck and toward the outside of the non symmetrical combustion chamber. It seems the idea is to create some sort of swirl before lighting off the a/f mixture, then flame front propagation spreads in an attempt at a more thorough and complete even pressure wave. Way different than a Chrysler hemi design and very interesting especially back then.
One of my buddies had one on a engine stand in his living room, i sold him a holley 4 barrell that came off of a cammer it had horizontal float bowls i owned a medium riser427 side oiler 😢😅had it in a 64 gallixie 4 speed
The Boss 429 is a Hemi . This is not a Hemi its a cammer motor with single over head cams . SOHC . It does not have a Hemispherical combination chamber..
So many "barn finds" still turning up! Many years ago, a guy had a Boss 429 Mustang stored in a old rundown barn. I don't know whatever happened to it. Is this in a '65 Comet or Fairlane? Just curious. ❤👍
Do your research. There were four 427 engines a low, a medium, and a high riser and of course this beast the Cammer. None of the 427 engines was a HEMI as stated in the video.
Nascar banned this beast bc somebody saw the writing on the wall with their 426. Not a bad engine at all but a factory sock motor would GAP a factory 426 Mopar. Say Im wrong
Best engine ever built second big block only to boss 429 this engine made 660 plus horsepower naturally aspirated in 1965. The most powerful production V8 for 6 decades
