The best, as far as I'm concerned.

Prettiest too

"Coolest", for sure. "Best", I would say not even close.

I mean yeah they make phenomenal power but they got some valve train issues and top end reliability problems but gnarly all the same

I absolutely agree

The most american way to describe it

Facts

@@jesusm7754 In Australia, it'd be a Six pack.

It’s hilarious how accurate that is 😂

Lmao 😂 you're absolutely right!

LS has probably taken that title now.

@@josephrogers4086: LS's are for sissies! lol.

An LS in this state of tune with carbs ain’t making this kind of HP.

I swear I've seen a complete 4 cylinder block that wasn't any bigger than ONE of these monster cylinder heads!!

Yeah, woulda been a lot cooler if Chrysler wasn’t a bunch of pussies

They're still available new on the aftermarket, so not so rare... just fork over money...

@Jack Russelle Lewis cheated?

And the BOSS 429.

I have to agree! The Cammer and the 429 Boss are two of the most beautiful engines ever built! And to put down numbers like this, on pump gas, we're talking beauty and the beast in the same package, and this is from a Mopar guy!

You know ford did this right if a mopar guy wants one lol

Was the 67 vette with the 427 ( Chevy lies extremely on stock power by around 150 ) the fastest car you could buy from the factory that decade.

There were some Chevy 427's running in NASCAR in 67. Looking at the back of Ford 427's and Mopar 426's.

@@bbdl7042 The Chevy 427 was not in the same class as the Ford 427 sohc.The 427 sohc was banned before it could even run at Nascar so Ford went back their 427 side oiler and still kicked butt in Nascar that year,The Sohc went drag racing instead.

Them hemi heads no joke

It was banned bc it was never put in production cars had nothing to do with stock smh.

She's a hunny alright!!

me toom I like the cross ram race hemi but the cammer is cool

@wedge4hire - As a fellow long time Mopar guy, I gotta agree. This is a fantastic engine with elephant hemi type power. Sorry there aren't more of them out there.

@@neilreid9005 As a dyed in the wool Chrysler fan, I have to agree. This is one unreal engine, and fascinates me.

I personally own couple of old Fords & Mopars , VW beetles and wouldn’t trade that experience for $1 million bucks and yes all were stick shift .. T - 45 Hurst shifter w/ ‘71 Mach 1 , Pistol Grip shifters in ‘71 Charger RT and ‘70 Roadrunner and that good ol straight stick that rises between the front seats in my VW beetle ( that kept me from getting lucky) , had stock and hi perf air cooled VW engines . You be surprised when an ‘68 or ‘71 Beetle has a good cutch in it - it hauls ass lickity split ...

707 out of Hellcat?Pro stock 351 Clevelands were making 750 hp na back in the late seventies and early eighties on the dragstrip.Bob Glidden ,Gapp and Roush Etc.As for hp ,i suggest you look at turbo six cylinder ford engines here in Australia.It will shock you.

Most gear heads under 50 never heard of or seen one!

@@petergiannaros9037 Ford 427 SOHC can be built to have over 1000 hp. Stock, they were rated at 650+ hp. Realistically, it was near 850 hp.

Good ole Ford Huge Intake Ports, Just like the 4V Cleveland Heads and the 429 Cobra Jets, and Super Cobra Jets.

​@badass6.0powerstroke10 the ford 427 tunnel port heads where huge also,very good cylinder heads

1966 - current

I would argue 67-73. That’s when the golden years of this motor were. After that, the Hemi’s aftermarket caught up. If they had made an aftermarket block for this, it would be 67-current.

Gotta love that ear porn, I could listen to that for hours

i agree,being a ford/dodge person,but,,i can buy a hemi now,..best thing chev ever put out was the later LS series.there actually a proper built engine.FINALLY..takes a while to wake up i suppose..

I am a Mopar guy and gotta tell ya...you can't hate something that never existed. Can't consider a half dozen or so hand built outside the factory to be production for anything so basically these are just aftermarket engines that nobody wanted . And while these mythical monsters did make some HP...I read they were engineering night mares as far as the valve gear and the 20 foot long timing chains went and were said to have not been able handle a 500 mile NASCAR race. The way I see it , if these cammer things were so great, then Ford engines would be powering ALL top fuel cars for the last 50 years. We all know where that went...can you say HEMI???

@@bultacowally The chain was 6', not 20'! Pete Jackson, I think his name was, built a gear drive to replace the chain. Ford developed this engine for NASCAR racing, to compete with the hemi. NASCAR knew these engines were going to be too fast for safety on their tracks. So they banned both engines. After that Ford quit on the engine, even though the likes of Dyno Don, Don Prudrohme & others were racing the engines in NHRA. The guys that were using it in T/F ended up switching to other engines. While in use, they were very competitive! Too bad Ford quit on this remarkable engine. With Pete developing that gear drive,who knows how dependable it would've been? Things might've changed...a lot in NHRA!

> oh and how those MOPAR guys hated it !. I'm a MOPAR guy, and I love it. It's a brilliant design intended to do one thing, make effortless power. It would have made NASCAR the competition it was meant to be.

TWO TRUE !!

Loved seeing the Cammer in the 55 Chev called Payback...haha !!

Internally they certainly were.

I saw that car at Detroit Autorama

I respectfully disagree Chico, I believe the most beautiful motors ever designed were between the 426 Hemi and the 454 big block.

It really did. The 427 was bad to the bone. The Mopar aerodynamics was allowed, but not the cammer. :(

Habitual Linestepper ford didnt run it because they did want to sell them

The aerodynamic Plymouth Superbird, Dodge Daytona Charger, Ford King Cobra, and Mercury Talladega were restricted to 305 cubic inch engines for 1971. All were discontinued after 1970 and the teams went back to standard sedan bodies and 426-427 engines.

Habitual Linestepper nascar said very nice get it out of here and dont bring it back

Ford had built this engine and Mopar had developed a SOHC HEMI. The super birds were averaging over 200mph so NASCAR banned both engines and went to small blocks

***** not correct; Ford won manufactors championship in 63-64-65-66-67-68-69 and drivers championship in 60-63-64-65-68-69

64fairlane357 Manufacturers championship doesn't mean shit...You can win that without winning a race. In 67 Chrysler won 36 of the 49 races that year,yet Ford somehow won the manufacturers championship??? Petty won the 64 drivers championship, Petty & Dave Pearson both won 16 races in 1968,yet Pearson won the Championship, Bobby Isaac won 17 races in 69,Dave Pearson only won 11...yet Pearson again won the drivers Championship????

68bobba2 Ford won more races in NASCAR between 1960 and 1970. it's in the books.

@bobba68 Also have to remember, NASCAR hated Ford for some reason, they were always on their ass about something. Ford did have one car that at around 180, became air born, lack of aerodynamics. Chrysler did do the first tunnel testing. Ford was about to make a come back with its King Cobra Super Snake Torino.

@@MrDriftonin -Nascar had it in for Chrysler(after it withdrew its factory teams),for the 65 season...It almost went broke. Not sure if Nascar hated Ford,but...At the end of the 64 season Bill France banned the Chrysler 426,Yet was prepared to allow the Cammer to run(only with an unrealistic weight penalty...IE, ballast). The problems Ford car you speak of had, sounds a lot like Chrysler's 68 Charger...Poor aerodynamics which created lift,at high speed.

Just awsome thunder ! I was lucky enough to grow up by motown muscle met alot of cool people and got to feel some major torq of these monsters. me my self born on the day 428 SCJ was released am a true FE man got 390 w/428 scj grind cam and heads in F250 1976 pickup when its uncorked and light ta light takes the new stuff they just scratch there heads!LOL

Where do you get your information?? Ford killed the "Tunnel-Port" program (which was for the FE & NOT the SOHC) because those heads produced less Hp & torque than the 'high-riser' FE heads.

Jersey ,I fully understand difference in SOHC and tunnel port even though two different monsters they are both FE engine ,the great part of the tunnel port was the round port with push-rod dividing it an with 2 4brl intake they worked great ,yes the SOHC worked better via higher horse and torq. as for high risers worked good to ,these heads are all different RPM range different flow rate ,they are all great and depending on what Ford was using it for which form of racing ,the HP TORQUE range very so much as only one was on standard production line that being the high riser headed FE ,and even some of those had a little mods for diff apps. ,,I have seen high rise heads with cast ## SPEC ,,stands for special cast ,,In short I love the torque of all the FE's P.S. didnt mean tunnel port was better than SOHC just it was standard looking FE .

TIM WEAVER k

TIM WEAVER Jersey about the 427 SOHC or the medium/high risers 427, the only difference in SOHC 427 is the top end, Hemispherical heads w overhead cam, the bottom ends are identical, all FE blocks from 330/332 all the way to 428 all the same block only different bore and stroke. The 406, 410 and 427 medium/high risers were all built to race lemans, these blocks inparticular had reinforced webbing on the block, reinforced main caps, reinforced webbing on rods as well as specialized rod cap bolts. These FE engines were bulletproof, I have been an FE fanatic since my early teens, I learned a lot about the racing wars in the 60s between Ford, GM and Mopar..

Yup. Theres no hiding that lopey idle, like a hot babe undressing slowly you just know THIS IS GONNA BE MIND BLOWING AND THE 427 NEVER DISAPPOINTED.

HOLY SHIT, PUTTING THAT LEGENDARY BEAST IN A GT40 WOULD GIVE A BUGARI OWNER A HEART ATTACK.

THE most powerful NA V8, if these numbers are anything to go by.

That's why it was Banned , there was no answer for the 427 Ford from chevy , dodge or chrysler so they threw a fit and whined like little bitches.

If somebody developed an aftermarket block, it would have changed history.

Chevy introduced a 427 in 63 as well, Two different ones, the Z11 427 and the mystery motor 427 both of which were very successful. The Z11 heads were very similar to the heads used on all later BBC's. So good that they heavily influenced the design of the Cleveland heads use on the small block Boss engines.

@osp80 they made a hell of a lot more then 20,

@@deviljoint9866 they were disqualified from NASCAR due to not being released as an option in production vehicles

@@gearyharlan7729no they were banned because of the overhead cams,the hemi was also banned a yr or so later in 65,the rule for 500 factory cars came later if im not mistaken.

@osp80 If you knew what you were actually talking about it would be good.Ford made a lot more of these engines than you describe,

Did you install the cammer? Not from the factory.

Nope.. somebody built it and it wound up in a long gone consignment auto dealership Nostalgia Motors in Campbell California. this place Was owned by Ferrari of Los Gatos owner Brian Burnett

Andrew B wow I know it had power but it's impressive that u were able to hook up so well to lift the front end.

My dads 62 Ford 406 Galaxie Sunliner pulls the wheels off the ground also Chrysler, Chevrolet, and NASCAR didn't like that 1 either got banned also.

James Sawchuk GM really banded it, like they did Chrysler in 69-70 as the story goes. However, chassis and engines were changing so the real thing that killed it was Ford. $$$ to MFG and Family affairs cost Ford so they pulled out of domestic racing with the exception of Nascar. Too bad Nascar isn't really stock cars. I would be curious how things play out now. The Current Coyote is all Ford Cammer mated with DOHC Cosworth.

Would be interesting, indeed.

Michael Quinn where do you get cosworth and coyote/modular mixed up?

***** Hey Nick, no I mean Ford used the history of what they learned from this motor and Cosworth DFV double four valve and the Modular variants of the recent past. Combine all that and you have the Coyote motor. Best small v8 built in mass production.

I like the flat crank in the GT350. 530 NATURALLY ASPIRATED horse power.

Those V8s were Buick 401 nail heads and they had no mufflers!

Yea, maybe? But the generic motors will always dominate the big three, or four due to three simple things? Ford fanatics can't see these, fore the oval spins them in a circle that will always let them down...

F#*%ing Old Rebuilt Dodge

there are a few that do

massive torque AND this 7 liter engine can rev up to 8k rpm. nothing comparable to it today

the 427 sideoiler beats a stock hemi and mod for mod boss 429

+Fire&Ice909 Apparently the Cammer also suffered from bottom end oiling problems,as well....the sideoiler block couldn't keep the oil up to it at 8,000 revs...I read that in an article about Connie Kalitta

France ALSO banned the Hemi because he didn't want Nascar turning into a pissing contest between Ford & Chrysler(who incidently had a DOHC Hemi on the drawing board)...So if the Cammer was allowed to race,the DOHC Hemi would have stomped on it. When France banned the Hemi,Chrysler withdrew it's factory teams...and as a result,Nascar almost went broke...Something France never forgave Chrysler for. Chrysler came out with the Street Hemi in 66,thus allowing the engine to be used in Nascar again. NOT because France had Petty's dick in his mouth?...Don't know where you got bullshit from.

Try looking up your Nascar history.Dumbass..It almost went broke without Chrysler involved...Not just Petty alone. Is Dodge in Nascar today?...who gives a shit? Petty wasn't the most popular driver back in 65 when Chrysler boycotted Nascar...He didn't become the "King"until 2 years later. Looks like someone needs to learn about Nascar...and it isn't me.

It wasn't JUST Petty...It was the Chrysler factory entries in general...you need to get your facts straight

Because this motor was Ford's solution to the Hemi.

@@iconofsin5886 -It was Fords ATTEMPT as a solution to Chrysler's 426 Hemi...Unfortunately it had several flaws(poor bottom end oiling,and a timing chain that stretched),which plagued the engine for it's entire career.

It was a NASCAR engine, and a top fuel dragster engine and a LeMans Prototype engine in the Ford GT-40 MK-II/IV. It ended up causing the engine size ban at Le Mans and it was straight out banned in NASCAR because of its pure dominance in races.

The 427 Cammer was never used in the Ford GT Mk II or IV. The engine used was a regular wedge head 427. Also, the Ford GT MkII and IV are not GT40's, a nomenclature reserved for the small block (289 c.i.) engined cars...

craig colvin NASCAR never had any thing that sounded like that. I bet if you was standing beside it and twisted one good time it would probably take your breath like a top fuel dragster
