Yes the 427 SOHC is a true Hemi. My friend has one he put in a 64 galaxie. They sound so nice
-
Nice. What did you use for wheels?
-
I wished I HAD the rest of the Hemi. as for the "yard" it came from, the other one was "crushed" and the motor was no where to be found!
As for the 429 and 460, YES, there were the 429 Boss, the 428 Cammer, and the 429, my mistake, or mis-type, the 429 Wedge head engine and 460 were 385 Y-blocks! LAST "FE" engine from Ford was the 427......
The 429 Boss, and the 428 Cammer BOTH were Hemi's........
Actually, the 429/460 engines are 385 series as is the boss 429. The Y block is a totally different series again. Think 292 and 312 t bird engines. The SOHC " cammer" is based on an FE is 427 cubic inches The last performance FE engines were the 428 cobra jets
The boss 429 was not a true Hemi as it only had a semi hemispherical combustion chamber. Hope this helps. I digest Ford engine part numbers in my sleep and have had my hands on every one of the engines I listed ?

Happy Canada day from the very smokey praries. It's gross here right now

Here are some pics
Last one has no sway bar and switched to remote filter. Are you sure the engine is on the mounts properly? Can I have a topside pic to see where the headers are mounted
-
I looked at all mine and I have some with headers and some without. My advice is to ditch the sway bar. I have not had luck running all 3 pieces on any of mine. It will look better than everything all bent and twisted. Option 2 is trim the oil filter so it's not as deep. I have done this as well and it clears the sway bar. Also regarding the headers many fords run this type of header due to the layout of the front suspension. They are a joy to work on in 1:1 torinos, Mustangs and Cougars. Lol.

Very cool stuff. Where is the rest of the hemi? Btw the 429 and 460 fords are not FE engines
-
I dunno, I can make anything fit on anything! I am a model builder ?
-
Me either. I was pleased how mine turned out. I do see what he is talking about though
-
How do I get these?
-
I could use that. I'm wanting a spare parts kit to do some conversion to 13/14 specs to match my 1:1 14 glass roof 500

I have an 85 Mercury capri ( think mustang) that is so oddly equipped that it's the only one known in the fox Capri registry. It's a bare bones GS model. It's has the 5.0/ 5 speed ( only available in Canada in the GS ) it has the red/ black carpet springtime special interior ( only availible for 3 months in 85) and it's radio delete car. 179 radio delete capris were built in 85 and 150 went to mclaren to become ASC coupes. That leaves 29 cars. Mine with all the oddball options is one of the rarest foxes ever built

Beautiful jim. I wish I had bench time.
-
I have also used pactra on many things with dupli color primer and sealer first. No issues then clear with testors wet look
-
Awesome. I know all about work. This new job o got is 12 hrs a day 7 days a week of it does not rain. So far have been on a 26 day run with one non working rain day off. Other rain days I worked in our shop
-
I'm curious too
-
D. Then maybe E but not F
-
I can vouch for the quality of them. I have all the styles. Here's the cogged kit
And a vette with one going on
-
Yeah, it's a 4 door so it can sit there. Lol
-
Is it a 427 sohc in this kit? If so here are some facts. Ford didn't do a blue engine In a mustang until 66. They were black before that. The 427 sohc was never a production engine in any Ford car. It was a crate engine. They came with the blocks painted lightly black
-
Ha! You caught that. Nice little stab at the ferrari camp. It's going to do just fine on race day.
