Yes DT, I am not a Ford novice. The 427 did run at Lemans but the cars were RESTRICTED to a max of 6200 rpm's.
427's don't run well over 7000 rpm unless you modify them to use Chevy small journal rods. That really is the fix for lack of oil at 7 & 8.
If you don't do that the engine is a grenade at 7000 rpm.
Cammers are all show unless they are seriously modified. The timing chains are like 6 feet long each.
There is no point in running and overhead cam engine unless you are going to turn big rpm. The 427 Ford is just what Ferrari said it was, a big Galaxie engine.
Side oiler, no side oiler. 7001 rpm, gaboom!
