Worked on a saw this am. The neighbors had a tree company come in and take the rest of the fallen limb down from the other day. Pretty low key company. Seen a few black handle and orange handle saws. Every saw was sharp as a butter knife. Had couple decent saws. One 661. Little top handle stihl. The chipper didnt run worth a crap. Funny crew of people.to watch lol.
Oh he had to borrow my ladder cause his wouldnt reach high enough to get a rope up in the tree.

Then went and helped my grandpa do a couple things and now off to work.

Not today, but tomorrow this nasty rotted, pecker holed maple on my neighbors other side property line is coming down along with another that is leaning heavy between his yard and mine. No picks of the leaner but the rotted one looks interesting

Got more work done on the Oak Bench today, would have done more but had a business appt tonight. Legs are fitted, but not attached yet.

A lot of work moving that heavy darn thing around and using the trailer as a dead man (to line it up with the Radial Arm saw). A lot of little adjustments to get the saw blade on your marks!

You obviously have more specific knowledge on this engine than I, but I distinctly remember from back in the day that Ford developed the SOHC for drag racing and the DOHC for endurance racing. This is all I could find at the moment.

"In 1964, Ford had their best season ever, with 30 wins. Dodge was second with 14, while Plymouth had 12. Adding the five wins that Mercury had, the 427 had a total of 35 NASCAR Grand National wins for the 1964 season. Fred Lorenzen won the Atlanta 500 and proceeded to beat Dodges and Plymouths, which were using 426 Hemi engines, in six of the next seven races. Ford was using the high-riser intake and matching heads, which were allowed by NASCAR for one season (1964).

In 1965, NASCAR banned Ford's high-riser engines [4] claiming they did not fit under "stock" hoods, allowing Chrysler to continue racing its 426 Hemi, which had been installed in a production vehicle that year. Yet [5] Also in 1965, Ford developed its own version of a hemi-chambered engine. The 427 "Cammer" used a pair of overhead cams to operate the valves in its hemi. NASCAR banned the engine. Then Ford developed the medium-riser intake and head, which fit under stock hoods and was accepted by NASCAR. Ned Jarrett, driving for Ford, was the 1965 Grand National champion and Ford won the NASCAR crown. "
I've seen a few of the SOHC drag cars run back when, very good running cars. I think the one I remember most was a Mustang, not sure but I think Dick Brannan ran one with pretty good results. This was at Indy Raceway Park in the sixties. There were lots of fine running cars back then so I might not remember correctly. I've almost always been a Chevy fan but those SOHC Mustangs sure got my attention!

I remember being at Dover Raceway right after the 454 Chevelle came out. There were a lot of big block Chevelle's and a 67 Fairlane 427 in that class.

The 454 and 427 kept winning, till they faced each other. All my Bow Tie friends were ribbing me about "we will see what happens to the 427 now".

The Ford won, and the ribbing stopped!

The 427 Ford is the only engine I know of that was competitive in drag racing, stock car racing and the 24 hours of Lemans (they won 1966-1969 in Ford GT-40s). In 1966 3 cars were entered against Ferrari and they finished 1,2 +3!!! It ranks as one of the greatest racing accomplishments ever.

I had a 1966 side oiler (cross bolted main) block in my 1970 Boss 302 Mustang (I replaced the engine). My current 2006 Mustang (with the SC) runs a lot like it.

The coolest thing I've seen all day. Only way it would be better if it was a Chevy LOL. :couch:

The biggest difference between a Chevy 427 and a Ford 427 was durability. When Ford came out with the side oiler block (all oil went to the bearings, you could not run a hydraulic cam) and cross bolted mains the engine was near bullet proof.

So you could run it at 550 HP and still finish the stock car race or the 24 hours of Lemans, or push HP over 1,000 and still go down the 1/4 mile.

Yesterday I helped a coworker buck up two large beech firewood logs.
Dolmar PS-7900 with 36" B&C and Dolmar PS-6100 MMWS with 20" B&C came out to play.
I let him try the MMWS, his yaw literally dropped - he owns a Husqvarna 66 unit made by Tomos.

I didn't wanna charge him anything as I considered it a fun exercise - he ended up giving me an unused Husqvarna laminate bar small mount 3/8" .058" 68DL , and a used 64DL 3/8" Stihl chisel chain.
I might have to get the loop lengthened if I intend to use it. The bar has a couple scratches, a little rust and two additional holes drilled from his attempt to fit it to one of his saws but it will fit my Dolmar PS-550 & PS-6100.

It was a good morning.
In the PM I unloaded my car and continued bucking and splitting two logs of my own firewood log pile.
Except for the heat it was a good day.

Nothing to do with chainsaws .Another hydraulic line blew out on my 1954 Oliver crawler which comes at no surprise .So now comes the problem of deciphering going from JIC fittings of different sizes installed 60 years ago from a DIY guy using the parts he had on hand .I've got it figured out just need to order them .WTH if it were easy anybody could do it .
