Introduced in the 1960s, this engine was engineered to dominate on the track and in the streets, showcasing Ford's commitment to performance and innovation. Its distinctive design and raw power made it a revered piece of automotive history, often celebrated for its engineering excellence and robust performance. For over five decades, the 427 Cammer stood as a benchmark in naturally aspirated V8 power, admired not only for its mechanical prowess but also for its aesthetic appeal. The engine's iconic status continues to captivate enthusiasts and collectors, symbolizing a golden era of American muscle and engineering brilliance. |
We spotted a cammer installed in an AC Cobra replica once. Good place for it!

Fascinating engines. I had the opportunity to help my neighbor rebuild a few some 30 years ago. He worked for Jim Green's Performance Center, home of the Green Elephant funny car that won the NHRA "world" championship in the early 1970's. Jim Green was a huge fan of the Cammer and had at least a dozen of them, although he raced nothing buy Hemis in the funny car. The Cammer was certainly not everything it is cracked up to be. It was simply Ford's side oiler FE block with some hoopty-ass cam drive assembly bolted to the front, and different cylinder heads. NASCAR banned it immediately (because it was never a production engine, available in a street car for sale to the public), before it could even run a single race, so Ford stopped all development. The only version they did finish was clearly just a starting point, a proof of concept. I wonder where it would have gone had it been fully developed. Its Achilles heel was that damn cam drive. The single chain must have been at least six feet long. It whipped all over hell, stretched, and made it impossible to accurately set and maintain cam timing. Things were always going wrong in there. I doubt it could have finished a 500 mile race. Some drag racers ran them for a few years, but eventually got tired of all of that, and tired of getting beaten by Hemi powered cars. Jim Green sure liked them, but readily acknowledged that they just didn't make the power the Hemi made. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1727287133.jpg |
Too much of a chainer. But famous in its corner of automotive history.

Then drain every faucet of water in the pipes. |

What are commonly called "black panthers" are really just black jaguars (in S America) or black Jaguars (in Africa/Asia). They are the same species as the non-black versions. They just have a genetic variation that causes them to be dark (although in the right circumstances, the spots can still be seen). It's similar to snakes. Lots of snakes come in colors that you wouldn't think were the same species, but they are just "mutant" color variations.

^“Red on yella, kill a fella. Red on black, a friend of Jack.”
Corral snake vs Milk snake (harmless and found in the NE states) Never afraid of snakes. They eat mice. There used to be a few behind my youthful house. Also caught bullfrogs and garter snakes in the swamps of grandparent's family lake vacation place. Caught and released 26 eastern painted turtles one day. Never afraid of snakes, that is, until I encountered a rather aggressive water moccasin while waist deep in sludge and muck with six inches of murky water on top. I smacked it on the head a a few times and it went away. I was 10-12yo. I always thought jaguar and leopard were the same for some reason. Internet says they are slightly different species. Not compatible. Honestly IDK. That pic and the story could be pure A.I. bull Looking at the picture again....it does looks fake...Shame on me.

This was an automatic digital data input system used in conjunction with the photogrammetric plotter. The stereoplotter required two aerial photographs that have considerable overlap (60%). The photos are put onto transparent media and projected with a light source. Each image will be projected with overlap on the other. The operator, using a special set of optics, would then see the image as three-dimensional due to the differing perspective of each photo. The stereoplotter can then be used to determine elevations and can plot contour lines on topographic maps based on measurements of the apparent change in position of a feature in the two stereo photographs, pictorial information can then be converted into digital data for computer input. This equipment was developed in a research program for the Ohio State Department of Highways, Columbus, Ohio, by Battelle Memorial Institute. It was a standard highway engineering tool, used to make many measurements from aerial photographs that formerly had to be made in the field by survey crews. The data recording device (left), when used with the stereoplotter, makes it possible to automatically record measurements on punch cards in the IBM punch card unit (right). We have a computerized version that requires special googles to see on a spacial monitor, a stereo image. It is not used anymore. The expensive computer programs do it all for us, in very fast production. |
