Then Ford in complete Ford fashion throws away everything it learned with the cammer and built a wedge chamber 4.6 ohc.

Love it ! My always favorite class are the Gassers ! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🔧🪛👍👍👍

Excellent video !

Love seeing the Opel Kadett gassers. (A blown Hemi in a Kadett? Amazing) I remember one from LACR. A very rude and crude race car. I have an Opel GT with a 454 in it so im naturally fascinated.

ok yes but your vid is the best....!!

Seems like it might have been a good engine for the Can-Am seies...maybe with an Aluminum block version.

Natic,k Massachusetts is pronounced Nay tick.

I am originally from Rhode Island and Tasca Ford was the best show around, they still race to this very day. I am 60 now so Tasca has been racing FoMoCo products for a very long time. Screw Mopar and its crying baby fans. They couldn't dominate so they just eliminated the competition through the rules committee even though they got away with anything they wanted, right down to the ridiculous huge wing cars of the early 70s. Chrysler products are electrical nightmares and body rot queens. Bunch of cry babies. Lol. Now to own a Dodge you proudly support Fiat... LMBO 😂😂

Not even your REAL VOICE sad 😢 thumbs way down 👎

Jungle Pam was the Queen of back up girls.

If the mustang F/C is still available for 10K ill take it!!!

That four engine Buick was owned and built by Tommy Ivo

I don't doubt that Kalitta ran a cammer in some of his cars, I saw his cammer powered rail at the Garlits Dragster Museum in Ocala, FL. But the version of the "Bounty Hunter" you show at around 7:30 clearly says "Boss 429" right behind the front wheel well. Great video, just couldn't help noticing this detail.

Love it. I watch SEGA videos on KZfaq all the time. The Best racing. And you HAVE to Bang gears in SEGA. 🤘🏼🇺🇸

I got to work on one of these one time, and one time only. What a magnificent engine but expensive to manufacture compared to the Chrysler Hemi. I was working mainly at that time on the Ford 427 wedge engines....another super engine. Pete Robinson came up with a gear set that totally replaced the chain...very expensive but dealt with the "chain stretch" and the variance in the timing from cam to cam.

Cammer is just a raw piece of sickness

I believe it was in summer 1966 Lions drag strip play Stone woods and cook and Big John go ahead to add they came off the line touch noses dropped back down and blew down the quarter mile that was photographed and it was in the I believe Hot Rod Magazine what was one of the most Famous run's in quarter mile racing history☝️👍

shoulda, coulda, woulda..............didn't. Mopar wins.

Very good video! Nicely compiled cars and history. This had to take a great deal of effort and energy. Thanks for sharing. 👍 Have a great week.

What a great video ❤ Mopar was afraid of the 427 cammer. The 427 top oiler The 427 side oiler The 427 tunnel port. See what Ford did went overseas to make history with the 427 gt40 ... Yeppers Le mans Ferrari 4 years in a row... Best by the Ford gt 40 . Where was Mopar??? Or Chevrolet??? Tucked their tail and run.. I guess the Italian government wouldn't lower the horse power on the Ferrari so the other Americans could draft..😅😅 I know the 427 Ford. I came across a sweet deal... I had a darling lady who thought money bought everything. A 67 Shelby GT 500 with a 427. 😊😊😊😊 A fkn a$$ kicker. Loved it. 19 k in 85.. Me my heart 💓 is not that cold.. she would have bought it for me.. I didn't let her 😢😢 LoL Sometimes I dream 😊😊😊

Really cool! Thanks!

Henry II would not put it in a car for the exact reason, lawsuits and insurance claims.

The SOHC was a truly legendary engine, and its based on the Ford FE wedge. The obsolete FE? I don’t think so. It was and is an American Legend.

I recall two Cammers running at New England dragway. One was a Top Alcohol funny car and the other was a Top Fuel pipe rack. The last years I saw these cars was in 1980 or 1981. I don't recall who campaigned these cars, but they were both run as exhibition only as the owners were well aware of their rarity and didn't want to destroy their motors pushing for ET. I used to go to the track with my friend Barry - an avid photographer - but he rarely took pics of anything non-Mopar. Too bad that, as if he had shot the cars I could give names and drivers to these two wonderful examples. As an aside, we also ran our own junk with the most fun being a '73 Duster 360 that we all threw some of our junk parts in and got it into the 12.6x in normal air for the princely sum of $600. Total. That was in 1988-89. Cheap thrills, but we never named the car as it looked much, much worse than it ran.

Back in 1972, I did a thesis on this engine for the written part of my Autoshop finals, (I'm in U.K. so, the course was City & Guilds 168). The examiners found it impossible to mark me badly on my write up as they had never heard or seen anything of this engine. HaHa. Previously, in my finals at High School (U.K. Secondary School) I did my engineering shop finals thesis on The Cosworth F3L V8 F1 engine. That one confused them as well, but still got decent marks. I love anything Ford. Shame they are not the company they used to be, but then again, not many others are either.

Sad, Ford definitely got the raw end of the stick when NASCAR outlawed the Cammer, as good as the Chrysler 426

Man! You got a lot of cars in 25min! It was a great moment in time after the birth of drag racing in and near SoCal following the 2nd World War. That spreading across the country to almost every mid sized town or county having at least one drag strip giving it a go. A ton of pre nitro innovation by home brewed mechanics and those that love acceleration came from the era. Don't know how you got all these cool images but ya' done good. Thanks for your work and share!

Great job!! Very informative. I could never afford one but had a bunch of FE’S. Thanks again .

The time you give us to look at the cars. It's wonderful.

Great video! Passers rule!

Great memories for me

Ironic that most V8's are single overhead cam, such ai in my 05 tundra. Some engines are dual overhead as well. Look at the modetn day Coyote engine. Timing chain was not thd issue as it was cam timing. Ed Pink has a great in depth interview about this motor. The last interview before died. R.I.P......the guy was a legend

I was at the 100 funny car show at Orange County. All the cars were lined up on both sides of the drag strip and started at the same time, what a sound.

Now it’s too many rules and to expensive tools. This used to be fun to watch till big money got involved as is typical!

The rule book stated no overhead cam engines. That’s why it wasn’t allowed to compete in NASCAR.

I was there 100 + funny cars and the fox hunt . OCIR was the best times 1975 on

Did the gasser class end in 1967

If that 427 "Cammer" engine was used in factory production cars, the way I understand your question, there would be so many lawsuits from the devastation that would be caused. If you look at what's going on with this Chrysler "Hellcat" for one, these kids are out there killing themselves in them. It would have many negatives and the engine would be pretty much non existent, I could be wrong but there's many others who have yet to share thoughts. I really enjoyed your show and I'm going to be a new subscriber, thanks for sharing with all of us.

I saw a lot of these cars at Cordova, and Neita Dragstrip ( Now Cedar Falls ) In Iowa in 1969 and 1970. And some at Cornhusker Raceway Park in Nebraska. The Flying Dutchman Dodge Charger was one of my favorites. I still have the ticket stubs.

Lowe’s sells the non-skid tape

Cool to hear about what I remember. Seems like a lot of people forget about those days. How did you get all that information. I'm an old dude. I'm digging this stuff.

Cool to see the northwest gassers including my dads Willy’s

Grew up in Sunland and spent many memorable weekends here! Bitter sweet memories now, just loved " Big John Mazmanion!" Was able to pass on the drag racing thrills to my son and many of friends!

Nice content, although it would be great to hear a few run down the track.

Didn't see BIG John Mazmanian. He was my favorite gasser

The 351C was the most handicapped engine in PS racing history and was the engine that pushed the sanctioning body to go to the 500 in³ rule. Then after a few years of development, Bob's BOSS 429s gave him 5 championships in a row and opened the door for GM to introduce the DRCE and that was the end of actual Pro STOCK racing.

Ohio George Montgomery successfully raced a twin turbo BOSS 429 Gasser that was so much faster on the back half, the 69 Mustang was banned from competition in 1975.

Glidden/Allen Pinto smoked them all...changed the game.

fantastic shots----

The Barracuda @ 45sec. Was bought by my Dad & Brothers and raced @ Ohio tracks. We called it "The Big Cat" Injected 426 on Nitro out of Sandusky, OH. It was a great time to be a 8yo. Went on to buy "Mr. Pickette" in 72. Thanks for the memories. I'm the only one left of my family now.
