1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone 427 SOHC “Cammer”
A professionally built 427 SOHC “Cammer” motor stuffed in a 1965 Mercury Comet for the street!! 
This car was built by a well-known SOHC expert in California, Butch Engelbrecht (of B&E Motorsports) in 1998.
The 427 SOHC is actually bored and stroked to 456 cu.in. by use of a 428 crankshaft.  Stock horsepower was 657.  The engine has never been dyno’d. The block and heads are date coded to 1966, not a reproduction 427 SOHC side oiler.  The engine has less than 50 miles on it since being completed and many of the internal parts are new.  The specifications are listed below.
