Pure FoMoCo Porn...The 427 SOHC

[Blue Goose]

427 SOHC "Cammer"

Ok, if you were to name the top ten engines Ford has built over the last forty years...Ok, ok, let's say the top five engines Ford has built in the last forty years, this one has to be on the list. You've got the Boss 302, Boss 429, the 427 "high riser", the 289/271 hp Windsor, but the real top dog of them all has to be the Single OverHead Cam 427. Usually referred to as the "Cammer", or the "SOHC (pronounced sock) motor", this is the baddest of the bad as far as production/race engines go, from Ford Motor Company, or anybody else for that matter.

Ford accomplished everything it set out to do with the 427 "SOHC" engine and did it in an amazing ninety days. It was years ahead of its time. In Ford dyno testing, the "Cammer" made 616 hp at 7000 rpm and 515 lbs/ft of torque at 3800 rpm, the most power any production/race engine had ever made, then or now

One of Connie Kalittas` favorite engines. I`d put one in anything and throw the hood away.
