A friend at work told me his bud had come to find a 427 sohc still in the crate and wants to sell it.I called the guy and he is going to sell it to me for 5k.I think thats a pretty good price,but now i think im going to buy a 67 mustang fastback to drop the 427 in.Anyways just wanting to know what you guys think.

 

man you better jump on that quick,,i'll grt if you dont whats his ##.[:@]

 

That would be a great find! Ford never installed that engine in the street Mustangs, it was built for racing.

 

Hey if you do not want that SOHC 427 I would be glad to buy it!!! Please let me know!!!

 

I have already made up my mind im going to buy the motor for sure,i was just wondering what you guys thought about the combo of the 67 and the 427.It will probably be another six maby nine months before i find a 67 fastback i like and drop the motor in.When im finished ill try and post some pics.

 

SOHC in a 67?
First you dont just drop it in the spring towers have to be alterd my Dad had a 65 A/FX 427 Mustang fastback only 15 built by Hollman Moody your looking at $$$$$$$$$$$$ to get it in the car.

$5000 is a real cheap they go for $25,000
If I new the guys number it would be sold but good luck open your wallet its a big task ahead.

Dick Wood a factory Ford team racer of the 60-70's has a shop in Hayward Calif he can fab it for you remember Ed Terry & Dick Wood FORD racing team? if interested let me know

 

you need to modify the enginebay a little, its not wide enough for a 427. but itll be worth it. 5k is a great buy,

 

Cobra200R is spot on - It would be difficlt to find an unmolested rebuildable regular 427. But a cammer, and new in a crate?... for five grand??? If you find a big block car, a standard 427 will go in. You'll need to use GT heads and exhaust manifolds, or Hooker headers to make the exhaust work. To put a cammer in you are looking at a major project and big bucks. I'd suggest that you get some numbers off that motor and talk to the guys at the Ford FE Forum. They are a wealth of knowledge and good guys.

 

Is the 427 sohc a big block or small block?

 

It wont be that bad .. Just remove some sheetmetal from the 67, just save the parts like the fender wells. If people can put 429/460 into 68/69s then a 427 will also fit. gonna have to relocate your battery. Differnt springs and motor mounts . If he really has a 427 then you a lucky guy , run the numbers off the block . Those motors are real rare so good luck.
