[Cammer]

CowtownCobra,

The cammer(SOHC) engine was originally built by Ford to race NASCAR - during testing the other auto manufacturers(race teams) soon understood that they could not keep up with or compete with this new engine - hence, NASCAR succombed to the pressure and the engine was outlawed - from there the engines that were produced went to the Ford drag teams on land and sea - the engine was never put in a production automobile - information that I have been able to dig up indicates that there were probably in the neighborhood of 600 of those engines produced - very rare, pricey and totally awesome!!!! That's my opinion anyway...........

PS - the following year Chrysler Corp came out with the NASCAR HEMI - everybody knows how that story goes!!!
