What years did ford make their 427 SOHC motor , was it a true hemi ?

Answer 1

1963 to 1967 , yes it was a true hemispherical combustion chamber. It produced 616hp with a single 4v intake .It was a crate motor and never sold in a production vehicle. It ruled the 1/4 track in the mid to late 60's . NASCAR would not allow the motor in its races and restricer plates were installed in nascar in 1971 to give the losers a chance , so bye bye big motors. Henry II shut down the racing program in 1974 from pressure from congress over the arab oil embargo . It didnt matter to henry , ford had one every title by then so he had nothing more to gain.

Ford had a 427, 428, and a 429 c.i.d. powerplant, They ran the 428 in NASCAR. Nothing could come close to a modified "hemi" The hemispherical combustion chamber configuration accepted modification better for high-performance applications. That's why all the drag racers "used them up" You could easilly get a big block, but a hemi became rare almost instantly after putting them into production. Most production MoPars had the hemi taken out and either a 383 or a 440 was stuck in it's place. Note: SOHC means "Single Over Head Cam"

Answer 4

the boss 429 was a real hemi , found in the Boss 429 Mustang and it was as real as a Hemi gets, ford had over head cam motor under raps in the early 60 not much is known other than it was a 390 from the start you can find it on the web I did and well the rest is hiostory,, the 427 A/C corbra (or know as the police intercepter motor 427) it was a bad A.S.S.

Answer 6

To meet the rules that would make the SOHC 427 available as a "factory production engine", and thereby able to compete with the Chrysler 426 Hemi on the Pro Stock Car Circuit. The SOHC 427 was offered as an option in late 1964 and then, only in the Galaxie... It was not allowed to race because of horsepower issue's. It had too much horsepower... So the engine was never raced on stock car tracks and never offered again in any production car... Drag racers started jamming them into Mustangs and racing them as FX cars...

Answer 7

No, not a true hemi by definition. They were often called
a semi-hemi. Ditto for the Boss 9. But they were a
force to be reckoned with, make no mistake about that.
