Finally made some pulls on the 527 Cammer

Like I said, $50,000 or $40,000 for a motor, I have a bridge to sell everyone, ask Kieth Craft how many of these motors he has sold at that price. And his runs on pump fuel, Im not an expert but Barrys motor is 11.5 compression if its not pump gas it bring that number down 100 hp like Kieths motor, fair is fair. Now the sbf does'nt look so bad. I like all the engines, my point is not for me. Too heavy, too big, too much.

To each his own but lets be real - no one opens up the hood of a cobra and says" Wow I wish it had a modern fuel injected motor from a mustang" but EVERYONE that knows and loves fords and cobras will drool over a SOHC motor. The price tag doesn't matter at all. My Roush 511 costs more money than the SOHC does but the SOHC will still get more attention. I just am jealous that no one was making them when I was having my car built.

This is no differnt than the small block versus big block debate or the whose $(*$^($* is bigger than the other one. In the end if you were to take a poll Ford Guy, you would lose

By a huge margin. After the seemingly mandatory "Is it real?" question the very next one that I usually get is "Is it a big block?" I haven't yet been asked "Is it a super-cool-modern-wizz-bang-double-cam-fuel-injected-coil-on-plug-computer-controled-super-turbo-charged-intercooled-noodle-monster-puppy-small-block?" Now that very well may happen, just not yet.

Ford Racing I agree that Roush motors are too much for what you get but I cant do anything about my naiveness 3 years ago. I have learned a lot since then. On the other hand it also doesnt mean I have to believe there will be too many people at a cobra show that will be impressed by a mustang motor in a cobra. Supercharge a 5.4 and fit it in a cobra maybe but a regular 5 liter...no

Fordracing65, whatever your negative feelings about Barry's work of art, why are you "whizzing" all over someone's thread? Especially when that someone has given alot back to our hobby.

Why? Does it make you feel better about yourself and your car?

In Internet slang, a "troll" is someone who posts inflammatory messages in an online community with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response. This sounds a little like what you're doing.

BTW, "Kieth" is actually spelled Keith.

Thats not your fault, thats Anthem Motors fault, John Panfill in general. If you got it there sorry.

I think his own words cover it pretty nicely.

By the way:
Gorgeous SOHC and surly the envy of many "experts".
I would love to put that in a 63 1/2 Galaxie!

OK. I think we all need to step back and get a little "daily affirmation."
