Excellent find...........I kinda have my suspicions on the validity.


Why would Chrysler cry and want the SOHC banned WHILE devoloping a DOHC?

I could be mistaken, but I thought the top MPH @ Daytona was Bill Elliot with a small block mid 80's Thunderbird.....


The bottom line is the 427 Cammer is one bad *****.

Correct, Bill Elliott still holds the Daytona track speed record at 210.364 set in 1987. He also won the Daytona 500 from the pole for the 2nd time that year.

Nothing's even noted on the Daytona website:

Here's a link to Ford engines:

I still like the Boss 351
