I hope it's THIS one! yourock.gif

No, I wish I had a 427 or a 428.  Just putting in a 302 that has been worked.  Those cars are so light that the 302 will make it scoot.  There will be enough HP there to get me in trouble.  My 5.0l  Mustang ran a best of 12.20 in the quarter and it weighed 2800 lb and really wasnt too radical.  Ford power all the way!

Are you sure I can't talk you into a 'cammer?

HOLY CRAP  !!!!!!   Let me get my mop and bucket out to clean up the drool all over the floor.  How much are SOHC's going for nowadays?  I have only ever seen 1 in person.

I've never seen one for sale, but they've gotta run way north of $20,000, since that was the going rate in the early-'80s.  The second one below is stuffed into a Cobra.
