I was the engine builder for 427 ocean race motors at Holman Moody Marine in Miami, 68-70. One day the boss, Keith Hazel, came back in the shop and said, "If anyone wants to buy a 427 SOHC order it now. Ford is stopping production. There are some new left over motors for sale complete with bell housings and starters for $1000.00 first come first served. And no I didn't get one. I didn't have the money or a boat. They didn't last long.Quote:

Tahoe? Wrong side road....
You sure??? Negative flipped, cars are on wrong side of the road, I know Cali is pretty screwed up, but they do drive on the right???
3-4 yrs ago i sold a guy a 90hp omc rebuilt powerhead at his house and there was the 63 galaxy with a cammer in it that i have seen at a few car shows.Said the motor was in a flat bottom hondo style boat at an auction and he won it for a few hundred bucks.It ran but he modified it so it could run on the street.Offered him 35,000 cash right there and he just laughed and said don't you want the motor too.Car was mint also.Quote:

I’ve played with gdi injection timing (4-stroke) on the dyno. With an arbitrary piston and injector design, the power goes to complete crap at high rpm when I ended fuel injection later than about 125 deg btdc on the compression stroke. 2-strokes can’t start injecting until the exhaust port closes, let alone end it, meaning injection timing is MUCH later than anything I did. This just goes to show how absolutely critical the spray pattern, piston geometry, and spark plug location are on a DI 2-stroke.
