You know this was on my list and with a little help from my FE I think it's a good idea.

Please include cam covers with the proper width and height, the soft blended radii, and the Ford logo with the 427 SOHC lettering if you proceed.  To me those features are iconic to the 427 SOHC and are not always reproduced correctly.  The Moebius engines cam covers are nice but I would like to see the logo and lettering added.  Thank you for your efforts.

Lettering on the valve/cam covers was not always present particularly back in the day.

 

I know, I just prefer that it is there.  3D printed parts could include or exclude it, and I would think should be able to capture the sizes and curves of the prototype covers (and other components of the engine) accurately.

Hi Charles, was wondering if you have given any more thought to doing the Hilborne injection for the SOHC Ford engine?

I have, but Scott is handling pretty much all of the modeling now as I can barely keep up with printing.

Thanks for the reply Charles.  I'm gonna put the Comet I need it for on hold for now.

Work has begun on creating a new 427 Cammer.

Is this an item you are going to produce?  Complete engine?

Yes, the plan is to create an accurate 427 SOHC and it will be for sale through Texas 3D Customs. And yes, complete engine.

Will this engine be available with different forms of induction, i.e. 2X4, 1X4, supercharged, and/or fuel injected? Or will it be basic long block and consumer provides own induction?  I am looking for a 2X4 version.

I haven't got there yet, so I am open. However I am thinking 2x4 and Hilborn FI.

Well it's close, I have just a couple more things to do. Like key the heads play with a different tranny I recently obtained, and a few more of the small things I do.

I'm all a tingle??.    Keep us posted Charles.

That looks wicked! Beautiful rendering. Is the Toploader part of the package?

If it's anything like his other engines you will have a choice between a few transmissions you can get with it.

So as of now it's the only one, but I will most likely adapt the C6 to it, but forget renderings here's my first test print.
