427 sohc By Mike McQuesten - 09/04/2001 4:45:53 PM; IP 206.193.0.122 Thanks to Mel Clark motivating me to take a closer look at these old Ford Shop Tips, featuring Data/VIN plate identification, I've found a couple of very interesting FE related bits. In both editions, one from 10/66, including codes for 1967, and one from 1972, codes from '63 through '72, I have found that there was two 427 Single Over Head Cam engines coded for 1967. First was the L code which was to be a 427 4V (Hi Perf.SOHC) and a D which was to be a 427 8V (Hi Perf. SOHC). So it looks like some folks up there at The Glass House in Dearborn had intentions of building a few '67 Galaxies/Fairlanes with the short lived but legendary Single Over Head Cam cross bolted side oiler 427. Wouldn't Dearborn Steel Tubling have to have been contracted again to shoe horn the mighty SOHC into a unibody Fairlane? If dreams came true, Ahh, wouldn't that be nice.."

This thread, so far...
