I'm sure old news, I read where the SOHC Cammer blew up, Darren replaced it with a DOHC Boss Coyote motor...He did some cam work, and was considering using an LS7 motor, thank God he used a Ford...Even if it is a Coyote...

Cammer
I would not say that the engine blew up, it broke a timing chain and bent a few valves. It has had a new chain installed and the few valves that were bent replaced and it is going again.
A 427 SOHC engine is probably not the best engine to be road racing with and I think Darren went with something a little more user friendly for that. We also have better chains now than the one that broke.
Thanks, Keith Carft
