Brian Lohnes is not a.i. And an old school drag nut😊 Check him out, pops showed me, never looked back
Great video
Maybe you could have used another picture of Pete Robinson around the 13:05 mark. This photo was taken a split second before he was killed when he hit the guardrail at Pomona. In the photo you can see the ground effects air dam under the car and the front tires are coming apart. R.I.P. Sneaky Pete.
I love this channel! Nice work👍
Excellent Video 👍🏁
Great post, Thanks.
For 66 Ford had intended to make it available in the line up. Was even in some dealership sales books.
Great glimpse of the golden years.. Who says you can't live in the past...
Sad ending for Mickey Thompson.
This is perfect timing. Building in 1/25 scale model kits. I just found a nice 427 in my parts box and was thinking of using it to build rail or funny. Great video as always. Thanks
Cool video! I've got a 1/16 scale model of this engine.

I bought 2 427 SOHC's at NAPA about 18yrs ago? 1 supercharged and the other 2 4's.
Connie Kalitta was running a BOSS 429. @ 7:15, says so on the front fender.😃👍

He ran the Cammer until Ford forced him to switch and he HATED the BOSS on nitro. Never resulted in the success he had with the SOHC
Very good job! I remember Dyno Don's PS Maverick, Dyno's Eliminator 1 Cougar, Pete Robinson's AA/FD, Ohio George's Gassers and the Danny Ongais driven Mustang of Mickey Thompson as being the SOHC movers and shakers of the day. Honorable mention to Kalitta. One racer not mentioned was Frank Jarvis of Barberton, Ohio, who campaigned an injected, SOHC powered, A/FD. I purchased one of his cammers (minus the block) back in the day and ended up selling it to go to school. Shoot me, please!

Kalitta is the only triple crown winner in nitro history and did it with the Cammer

The 427 SOHC Cammer V8 is the baddest engine to ever come out of Detroit Michigan (as well as Ford Motor Company) in the 1960s, imagine a 427 SOHC Cammer V8 in some production cars like the 64 Ford Galaxie 500, 63 Mercury Marauder, 63 Ford Galaxie 500, 65 Ford Galaxie 500, 66 Ford Ford Galaxie 500 7 liter, 67 Ford Galaxie 500 7 liter, 69 Mercury Marauder. 67-70 Mercury Cougar XR1 Elminator, 66-67 Mercury Cyclone GT, 68-69 Mercury Cyclone GT, 70 Mercury Cyclone GT, 70 Ford Torino, 66-67 Ford Fairlane GT, 68-69 Ford Torino GT, 65-66 Ford Mustang, 67-68 Ford Mustang, 69-70 Ford Mustang Mach 1, and the 67-70 Ford Ranchero (which would make it an Elcamino slayer) or heck even some Canadian Fords 🇨🇦 like the 65-66 Meteor Montcalm S37, 67-68 Meteor Montcalm S37, 67 Meteor Rideau 500, and the 70 Meteor Montcalm S37. Also don't forget seeing the mighty 427 SOHC Cammer in some Aussie Fords 🇦🇺 as well mate like the 66-69 Ford Falcon, 70 Ford Falcon, 70 Ford Falcon Ute, 71 Ford Falcon GT, 71 Ford Falcon Ute, and the old 71 Ford Falcon XB GT. Heck even some Italian (or any European) Super Cars with the almighty 427 SOHC Cammer V8 like the DeTomaso Mangusa, DeTomaso Pantera, the DeTomaso Longchamp, DeTomaso Vallelunga, and the DeTomaso Deauville.

I love the Cammer and it was Definitely the beast in that era, the modern twin cam fords have since eclipsed the legendary 427. No cammer has run 5.67 @ 265mph, the Coyote has. No cammer ever went 300.4 mph yet an oe cast 5.4L has AND did so in the standing mile. The 4.6 4V has been 5.88 @ 256mph. The crown has since been passed on.

@chadkent1241 Thats because those engines has boost while the Cammer does it NA mate.
when the gear set replaced the timing chain,everything changed that engine can easily make 600 hp would have won daytona

Rather than doing the gear drive setup it have been better if someone had come up with a belt drive setup.
