427 Cammer Wanted
Anyone got a cammer sitting on a stand anywhere in their shop shed or outhouse?
Anyone know where there might be one??? Come on guys where the cammer investigators!!! |
|
If you check the Jay Leno thread, I posted that there was a fresh original SOHC engine, originally a crate from Ford, on eBay and the seller wanted $59,500. I think the bidding got up to around $16,000-$17,000.

Mick-Fordzilla i was hoping for a factory cammer before i went for something like that.
thanks anyway |
WOW! $60K big ones!!!!!! well i think thats why they still got it! Thats abit way-out
Yeah its the Leno car that got me thinking about this! Maybe i should just start a new trend, and fit a Pinto motor lol |
Now it's 'Buy It Now' for 32,500. Still a bit pricey, but for some guys, money is no object. From what I undrstand, a well built Shelby 427 FE can run 25,000. How bad do you want one?
|
Pure speculation on my part, but I think $30-40K for a complete one needing to be rebuilt is/was realistic, but maybe the economy has slowed or even reversed the upward price trend.
Just a pipedream for me. |
I jead read some thread over on fordfe.com with bill coon and keithcraft discussing building new 427 cammers, i might just wait till that happens. That will bring a good sorted tested and proven cammer into the fold. I shall wait for that day.... unless a NOS crate motor comes my way!!!
Damm its past christmas now......... |

Eric, Here's a link:
http://www.network54.com/Forum/74182...%3B+by+Keith+C Bill Coon is the Man on Cammers. The Cammer that Pops Performance offers on ebay & in their catalog is a Bill Coon top end Cammer. |
Looks like we got plenty of links now!
|
I think there gonna be alot of interest in these motors if KC gets on board with a decent build.
|
I think the discussion over on the FE forum is that the Cammer, in its original form, was not reliable. The new heads that are being developed have not been thoroughly tested, per KC, and thus KC won't be offering a SOHC engine option until such time he's convinced that a reliable setup could be offered, and backed by him, to the public.
I've got 600 miles on 482, and I'm very happy so far. |
Maybe Keith may speak here about his thoughts on this subject!
|
If you go to www.fordfe.com, then you can read all his comments on the subject.
