The point I get from that excerpt is that the SOHC motor was unecessary. Ford was competing and winning with the Tunnel Port 427 SO.
But since we are slaying myths here, let me ask the question:
During the years in which they competed, between '64 and mid '69, which engine won more NASCAR championships?
a) the feared and vaunted Mopar 426 Hemi
b) the sad pile of crap, boat anchor Ford 427
