The best and worst motor ford ever made....
The 427 SOHC...
Factory rated at 615 h.p. and developed to stomp the chrysler hemi on the roundy round track. Race teams quickly found out that a 7ft long timing chain didnt work so well on a 500 mile race at high rpms.
So.. the drag racers got a hold of them and they started working their way into rails and funny cars in the late 60's. Pushing 8500 rpms netted the same result with the timing retarding almost 30 degrees, so they converted them to gear drive.
...and you though timing your quad cam sporty motor was a pain in the ass....

Nickys Special....
This is my good pal, Nick G's Buick Special...The day he got it in early 2009....
Ive always loved these mid 50's Buicks and from the sound of it this ones going to be one killer custom. He and his dad are working on the front end now, installing a Rivi subframe underneath as well as upgrading to discs etc... The future calls for a smoothed out heavy flake, laced up and paneled paint job...and on top of that a solid Nailhead under the hood. Hope to put up some updates soon.
