DeTom,

An engine like that is for somebody building a show car, no parts available, wouldn't be of use to somebody who actually wants to drive the thing.

It is basically the grandpa of the 4.6 cammer motor. You would be better off buying the cammer. You could also pick up a 427 SOHC cammer for the same money, at least it would have parts available.

The motor you need DeTom is a Ford/Cosworth DFV. It has a single plane crankshaft, so the exhaust will make that whine you love to hear.

Dennis, you mentioned the Long Beach swap meet, I once lived just east of the Veterans Memorial Stadium, where the swap meet is held. Brings back memories of my younger days. I haven't been to that swap meet since 1988. Folks referred to me as Mr Mustang back then.

I hope a few of you find this stuff interesting. It takes time to dig around the internet & find this stuff. That's why I post these little trivia things, to stir up some conversation, keep people interested in the bulletin board. I love history. I figure the folks who don't know any of this Ford & automobile history might find this stuff fun to read. DeTom, you're always good for a wry comment or two. Thanks my friend.

Dennis, I love your new avatar!

your friend on the DTBB, George
