Nothing like a twin turbo cammer motor!!

Well, I saw a twin turbo cammer motor today. It was REALLY impressive! I wonder how much power that thing puts out....WOW!

Brent,
A cammer don't need no stink'en turbos!!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D :mad:

I asked about the engine a little more, and it puts out 1200HP!!!! Uhmmm....You think I can fit that thing in my car?? :D

What is a cammer motor? Someone, please explain. 1200 HP sounds pretty good though. :)

George or other Club Hot Rod members can probably give more detail.

.....a Ford Edsel block V8 with a Single Overhead Camshaft on top of hemispheric combustion chamber heads. Ford made over 600 Horsepower with this engine using a Single 4v carb and no power adders.

The 427 cammer motor is fords V8 over head cam from the sixtys also known as the 427 sohc [single over head cam] you can see one in this web site the motor with the glowing exhaust manifolds.This is one of the hardest motors to get get.

Ha ha, I saw that same twin turbo 427. The guy that worked there told me it had been in some sort of race boat.

FE Galaxie, just to set the record straight, "FE" stands for Ford Engine, not Ford Edsel. A lot of folks are under that impression, but it ain't so.;)

Do you have something against the Edsel?

Nope, not me, just a bit on the ugly side though. But I thought that ever since the day they were new. See some nice examples at the car shows.

Is this Ford's "Hemi" ad far as the mystique and availability? What years were these made for and what kind of cars did they come in? Where the heck are the spark plugs?!? :cool:

Ain't that the motor Ford came out with to dust the Hemi in NASCAR.???? In the late 70's I use to wrench for a NDBA unblown gas hydro and there was a guy who ran one of those things and let me tell ya it was a monster, Wonder if it's the same one ???? If I remember right it did'nt run head gaskets it had o-rings around every hole.

where can I buy the conversion kit to turn my 352 into this engine?!?!?:whacked: :LOL:

Ok, i may have to go pick up some head gaskets for my truck this week. I shall just bring my digital camera, and photograph that twin turbo motor. Hopefully i can figure out how to post a picture on this site. That motor is really a sight to see.
