I squeezed a 427 SOHC into a Superformance!
Hi Guys,
They said it couldn't be done, but I have a never say die attitiude.
The crossmember was a piece of cake.
I am still working on headers, sidepipes and getting the trans to mate up. it may be a bit down on torque but I'm betting it will get outstanding gas milage.

Your subconscious has actually begun the conversion.........you are really a small block guy at heart "just trying to get out of the closet". The metamorphasis has begun.
It's a San Francisco "thing"

Actually the engine is full size. The car's body and frame was stretched to a wheelbase of 60 feet.

The power to weight ratio on those Cammers has always been awesome. Just think if he could have done it with an aluminum block!

That car is HUGE! Makes the engine look tiny. I guess you don't have any problem with leg and foot room in the car. Is there seating for four?

Actually, there was an ERA Cobra with an aluminium-headed 427 SOHC at the latest Cobra Lunch in Ventura. So they DO exist! Sounde sweet, too!!! Seven-foot-plus of timing chain has a sound all its own!!

The engine is made out of an elephant foreskin. Just before the race, you rub on it and it expands to full size.

Maybe you should consider a "Twin Mill" version of that Cobra! Looks like enough room! If one is good, surely two would be gooder!
