DOSE ANY ONE KNOW ANY SITE'S ON THE 5.0L CAMMER ENGINE??????
yes i do
hurc ast
Hey bigblack, first lose the all caps. Some folks are sensitive about the use of those.
How's this?
Ford Racing Technology will revolutionize the crate-engine concept when its new 5.0-liter Cammer crate engine becomes available in 2003. Instead of modifying a standard production engine to suit non-stock applications, Ford Racing specifically designed the Cammer to be one of the most technologically advanced crate engines any manufacturer has ever offered.
This high-performance retrofit is an all-aluminum, overhead-cam,
4-valve engine that is a perfect repowering upgrade for vintage Mustangs, street rods, and classic truck projects.According to Ford Racing Technology engine engineer Andy Schwartz, "The 5.0-liter Cammer delivers a healthy 425-430 horsepower at 6700 rpm. The torque curve peaks with 370 foot-pounds at 4000 rpm."
The 5.0-liter Cammer crate engine is based on the SVT Mustang Cobra's
4.6-liter 4-valve V-8. However, the crate version has several unique qualities and components, including:Larger cylinders (94mm vs. 90.2mm) for 5.0 liters of piston displacement Flanged cylinder liners Reinforced crankcase web areas Forged pistons
11.0:1 compression ratio Ported heads Higher-lift cams (12mm vs. 10mm) Beehive-shaped valve springs to accommodate the higher lift Modified roller-finger followers Multi-layer steel-insert head gaskets Higher-flow fuel injectors 3-piece cast-magnesium variable geometry intake manifold Higher-flow, dual-cone-spray fuel injectors The 5.0-liter Cammer crate engine will be shipped with a stock Mustang Cobra oil pan and exhaust manifolds. Installation will be eased substantially by a choice of six different 4.6-liter 4-valve modular wiring harnesses being created specifically for the 5.0-liter Cammer crate engine."We intend to grow the interest in overhead-cam technology," said Dan Davis, director, Ford Racing Technology. "This is the future for tuners, project-vehicle builders and aftermarket car and truck enthusiasts. There's no reason why a crate engine can't start and perform as well in an aftermarket setting as the engines in production automobiles and trucks do. The 5.0-liter Cammer crate engine will provide top performance, a slick underhood appearance and excellent driveability without the hassles attached to carburetors and distributors."

Well I can think of one real big reason: MSRP $14,995.00. Others: dimensions 39" wide, 37" tall, 35" long, and weight 669 lbs.
(
Comparable numbers for a generic 400 hp $3500 iron head Chevy 383 are
26" wide, 27" tall, and 26" long and weight 535 lbs. Subtract 75 lbs for aluminum heads.(
For $15,000 you can build a 700+ hp turbo motor.

No Shit. I have ~450 for just over $4k. About $10/HP.
Or, $17,000 for a crate Hemi putting out about 650hp. But no a/c pump. :)

For $17,500 you can buy my very OT 74 Camaro ready to run. It runs 9.12 @
153 MPH. Runs SC, the dial is 9.18. Have the timing set at 36 to keep it slow. With me in it weight is about 2,530. Calculate that horsepower:)Al
I get 707. ((153/234)^3 x 2530.) Yikes.
But at $17,500 that's $24 per hp. Scott's Ford has got you beat on dollars/hp. :(
Do you think that Camaro would make a good training car for a beginner? Does it have a/c?

AC, no problem. I'll take off the Filter One and put on an AC filter:) Good training car? Sure thing, especially if you have some good life insurance. You will have to get an NHRA license. So you get some professional training and a FAA like check up by a doctor. I'm a few months for my 60th birthday, and I can drive it.

Yes, I lost 50 pounds:) Ron's Toilet is a fuel injection system. This thing goes down the street fine, on my trailer. It's about 2 inches off the ground.

Since your race car's carrying 3.6 lbs per hp, that's 14 horsepower.
Speaking of 5.0 Cammers (which we were), I just saw on the Barrett-Jackson web site that the Ford Racing Performance Products '65 fb, that was commissioned for last year's SEMA show to introduce the Cammer crate engine, went for $135,000 at the January Scottsdale auction.
