  • Incredible Video: Ford 427 Cammer on the dyno

    Check this out! Jay Brown is one of those rare, super-human gear heads who has the brains, the talent, the drive, the vision, and even the bucks to build just about any amazing Hot Rod that the human mind can conceive. Hidden away in his top secret Bat-Cave location, Jay has assembled a dream collection of cars, parts, and equipment that only a privileged few have had the opportunity to drool over in person. Since Jay is a die-hard Ford FE big block fanatic, you can hardly walk through the cave without tripping over rare FE stuff. Stuff that even the most jaded Chevy freak would uncontrollably lust after - especially the exotic 427 cammer parts that are stacked up like cordwood everywhere you look. And since he prefers to build everything on his cars himself, there is industrial grade equipment jammed into every corner this one man dream garage - stuff like a cnc machining center, a full size paint booth, and even a Superflow engine Dyno! Which brings us to the topic of this killer video!

    Jay just screwed together what he considers to be a "little" (519 CID) cammer, and is flogging it to within an inch of its life on the dyno to make sure that the Hillborn injector (complete with calliope stacks that hearken back to the AFX look of '60 drag racing) is all dialed in. The scream of Fords big hemi as it tears past 7500 rpm is so awesome that it should be piped into every classroom in America on a daily basis! It could save an entire generation from wimpdom!

    See and hear it for yourself right here:

            Jay is the coolest man in America. His book is freaking awesome and he knows that a tupperware tub flipped upside down will fit over 8 Hilborn stacks on a SOHC Ford motor all day long. Superman lives, and his name is Jay Brown.
            That which you manifest is before you.

                    Man, that just rules! I think the exhuast fan makes 500 HP when the video starts I thought the engine was running then I saw the pulleys weren't spinning then the real noise comes on and holy s**t Batman! I feel for those guys running Super Race N/A at DW this year. If ypou want the entire scoop on the coolness check out the FE Power Form thread on this build.

                        Oh man, I hope my wife never sees this thread. She will never let me hear the end of it:

                        "How did you fool all those guys, anyway?";
                        "This is just more positive reinforcement for you smelling like grease and oil";
                        "That Hemi Joel sure is full of it";
                        "How come you weren't Superman last night?".
                        etc. etc.

                        Seriously, thanks for all the kind words, guys, but I'm just trying to drag a dinosaur into the modern era. The next SOHC, due to be finished up in a couple of months, ought to be REALLY cool...

                          sohc, aluminum, and v8..
                          hardly a dinosaur.

                          funny enough, I am bailing a "mini dinosaur" with similar specs.
                          just getting right to the valve has a surprise.

                          does sohc have the valve path inverted like that on all of them? I was looking at the build thread posted. I am relating to that too strangely..
                          two intake valves in the middle cylinders, a mirrored path from the point out.

                          anyway, love the engine.

                          it is a hero.

                            I guess I was referring to the fact that no serious development has been done on that engine since the late 1960s. So it's a little behind...

                            Not sure what you are referring to by "valve path inverted"; can you clarify?
