Hi Sizzler,
The Cammer is the Holy Grail of FE religon. I have been lucky enough to build two if these beasts (both ended up in boats)
I would love to have one now. Very rare, very cool. They are very expensive and difficult to locate good ones as cammers are even more specialized to build than a 427 wedge.
The main liablility with the SOHC is, unless you have the extremely rare aluminum heads (almost all were cast iron) a complete cammer weighs in excess of 700lbs. In NASCAR, where this motor was originally developed for but was banned, weight wasn't a major concern. The top fuel dragsters weren't as worried either because the power they could generate would more than outweigh the additional heft. The cammer was just too big and too heavy to be considered in road racing, Can-Am or the GT-40 Le Mans programs. A cammer won't even fit without major modifiactions in most replica Cobras. In my case. I did some measuring, and to fit one in a Superformance would require relocation of the clutch, brake and gas pedal assemblies, foot boxes and the entire steering assembly. But if I had a cammer in my garqage...
