This would look good in my car:)
|
Will it fit under the stock 427 Cobra hood scoop?
. . . . :LOL: |
That I would highly doubt ...but hey ..whats a hood worth?
LOL |
There are a few motors out there I just don't have a problem with seeing under the hood of a replica. THIS is surely one of them! :D
|
I'd buy it, but it's got those darned aluminum rods...:JEKYLHYDE
|
I'm not very well informed about Cammer engines, but I thought they had a large chain assembly on the front to drive the overhead cams. This engine doesn't appear to have one. What am I missing?
|
A well done example of raw HP!!!
Yes, it would look okay under your hood, but it would look even better under mine. :D |
Tommy, the front cover covers the chains. I think there was a manufacturer who also made a gear drive setup that eliminated the chain.
|
I believe that Blykins is right. I have seen two with gear drives and they said the chains had a tendency to stretch just enough to throw off the timing after having been ran hard for a few times. I dont know if this is true or not and was just an excuse for them to have gear drives made.

GUYS!! It does not appear to be a real CAMMER.
Read the song and dance. |
Well it appears to have the SOHC heads and they're definitely tunnel port pieces. The valve covers wouldn't fit on any other FE head.
I think what's throwing you off is that it says it's not a cammer block. I would take that to mean it wasn't an original NOS cammer block....but is probably a regular 427 block that has been drilled for the cammer heads. |

Say it aint so elgecko! :D
Certainly as good a replica as I've even seen! :LOL: So how are the valves actuated when these heads are used on a standard 427 block? Pushrods? |
Over 10 grand is a lot of money for a maybe/maybe not cammer....would imagine there has been a flurry of emails between bidders and seller before they bid like that....seems for that amount, you wouldn't be buying on ebay, sticking to a reliable/known builder
|
Considering cammer's typically sell for better than $30 grand and it's not uncommon for a nicely built side oiler to sell for better than $10 grand, maybe the reserve price is 'reasonable' for a 'replica' cammer built on a side oiler block.

Ernie, I would imagine since the cam is not in the center of the block on a cammer, that pushrods would not be needed.
I can't remember off-hand, but I think the SOHC heads have rocker shafts and rocker arms like a regular FE. The shafts run parallel to the cam. I would like to know the answer to this myself....I know regular SOHC engines allow the cam lobe to push a follower which opens/closes the valve. However, since the cammer FE has rocker shafts, I can't really say how they work.....maybe the cam lobe itself lifts the rocker arm. |
A SOHC with modern gear set.

SOHC with chain (chain is something like 6 feet long?).
