I had a 1966 Ford Fairlane with the 427 Race Car Package, side oiler 427, transistor ignition, dual quads, verified it would turn 7000 rpm in every gear (lucky no highway patrolmen were around that day). Drove it for 3 years, (1967-1970) 30,000 miles, got 10.6 mpg at 60 mph on one carb's primaries. 6A43R249575. Got beat twice on the street, once by a hemi with gears and once by a tri-power 435 hp Corvette with gears. The car came with 3.89s, they had steeper than that. Them was the days.

A 427 side oiler in a tiny AC Cobra gives new meaning to the phrase “power to weight ratio”. What a legendary engine!

I'm a Mopar guy, but love all the performance engines of that golden age I grew up in the 427, and 427 SOHC, both bad ass engines, not to mention a few others by Ford.

Thanks, Nick. I have mostly been a GM guy, but I love and support anything Ford makes that will humiliate European snobs, especially Ferrari.

Side oiler tapped out your dyno, about time you had real power on there…

The side oiler was developed to beat Enzo Ferrari , and then it did. This engine gets my vote.

That engine was designed to run at 5000 rpm all day... in 1966 of course.😊
