Exactly George I'm leaning towards a Windsor Block assembly with Cleveland heads. Clevor ? I love those Boss 302's. A real high reving motor, I bought one when I waas 21 and it had a fully grooved crank with Trans am pistons had to run it on Cam 2 114. Any way I have to mention MODULAR to make it official ! LOL I guess we need to start a new thread "CLEVOR " I would like to elaborate on that thought ! GEORGE ! Hint Hint Hint

I knew you reminded me of someone. It was the fact your profile pic doesn't have your customary three sided hat. BUt Smokey was a chevy guy wasn't he? You are more like Carrol Shelby.

Ron, I just got off the phone with my friend and he is definetly interested in buying the SOHC from you. He will need more info and if it is ok with you I would like to put you two in touch with each other. If you are interested could you please emaile me at Detomaso72@yahoo.com ??

Detom - Its tucked away in the corner of the barn and I want to hold on to it until I decide what to do with it.

Ron

OK, Ron. When I told him about it he sounded real excited. They are real rare. But I am not gonna presure you though. I hate pushy people. Pestering me all of the time. But if you change your mind or if you are just curious about stuff, let me know cause this guy knows folks who actually worked on the Ford development program, so he has access to mucho info.

How many of these engines were actually made?

I'm not sure since this was an engine I never expected to find and I have a spare short block in cosmoline looks brand new. I have to say that the two came together and I have not done anything with either, but I suspect some thing ? When I first bought it I did some research but not much out there on this engine.

Sounds like a great find. Best of luck with it.

It is a great find Josh. Pristine examples of the cammer go for $30K these days.

I've never read any total sales numbers for the cammer, they only sold over the counter, but they sold lots of them. They are far more plentiful than a Boss 429. In the Seventies, prices had already started to escalate, but I would hear of a cammer motor for sale still in the crate frequently, by the eighties asking prices were in the area of $10K.

your friend on the PIBB, George

Great pictures, George! Truly an awesome motor!
