[DeTomaso] 427 SOHC On BaT - Who wants to try dropping this in their Pantera . . . ?

[Will Kooiman]

One of the best engines ever.  I like the you tubes of Jon Kaase where he talks about it.

Working on it would be a real pain in a Pantera.  It's 3-4 inches longer - for the timing chains/cover.

The engine on BAT has a dual plane 2x4, which is about $2,500 by itself.  Heads are iron.

Love that engine.  There are several on display at the Don Garlits museum, along with tons of Hemis, and a few Boss 429s.

    The local shop that did the corner balancing and alignment on 2511 told me they had a local new-build Pantera recently in their shop that did have an SOHC conversion. I confirmed that it was a 427 SOHC and not the standard 427 version. 

    I believe I met the owner about 10 or 12 years ago when he was still gathering parts. It also is a widebody conversion. I am going back to that shop next week and will quiz them more about that car and hopefully get some photos?
