I would post a picture of my Cammer but I can't figure out how ! I can time my cams but I can't figure that out !

Ford did make a 3 valve "calliope" 427 for lemans that had an over/under cam in block arrangement. It apparently did not race when displacement rules changed, but there is a picture of a comlete engine on the cover of June 68 hot rod. (I don't think its an FE it just happens to be a 427)

Dennyw, according to an article that I read years ago, the collector who owned the second DOHC Hemi, put it into a '70 Super Bee,. His reasoning was that if it had gone into production, that would have very likely been the first candidate to receive it. I'll post a picture of a model I built with one. Ironically, it came with a '70 Super Bee kit.

I Know, I know it's just a model....but I'll bet a few guys on this list still build! :-)

This isn't the best picture and I believe it was at Irwindale in '66. I believe Lou Baney owned the car, but the driver was Don Prudhomme. I don't believe they campaigned the car very long, it just wasn't successful.
