To quote Connie Kalitta:The 427 SOHC is a great design for a "handgranade".The concept was great but development was not carried to profection for long term production.The cost and inherant design flaws made it short lived as a viable alternative to the Chrysler Hemis.

Was a GREAT attempt from the FORD camp and it would have made for "severe" rivalry on both the tracks and the streets. NASCAR killed it from the left side and the LACK of ongoing development (on the block itself) killed it from the right side. The people who still run them successfully, had done their homework and do have techniques and improved designs to overcome the "flaws". But again ... it boils down to the money issue.
