- In this segment, Pete Aardema & Kevin Braun will talk about one of their overhead cam conversion engines that never quite came to fruition as planned. This is one of a kind overhead cam converted 427 CI wedge head Ford FE stroker engine, may be the only running homemade example in existence. You will hear firsthand how Pete and Kevin ran into some design issues with this engine build and why they scraped this project and moved on to bigger horsepower producing engine designs.
I'm a simple man I see old guys making custom parts I hit the like button
Those boys have more knowledge in their pinky than alot of people who think they know alot about engines. Thanks as always for sharing.
These two gentlemen are fantastic engineers and I love to see the videos on their creations. 👍
Thank you I will try to get some more content soon!
this is what i like about aardema and braun. They're both open source. They want the knowledge to be spread. I'll keep supporting them as far as I can
Aarbema is the greatest of all time in thinking outside the box and truly understands the potential of the FE. A 4 master cam would have been the cure and adding turbocharging to the equation would have revolutionized the use of previous engineering in a modern demand and construction era. It will all be lost to history in our present paradigm of design and development engineering. It breaks my heart to see the DIY era of “hot rodding “
This has to be some of the best content on CZcams, you don’t see this shit anywhere else
Occasionally you would see this in hot rod magazine but, these types of engine builds don't sell parts. The magazines main concern is advertisment and selling parts. So the real hotrod stuff is lost on the younger generations.

These guys are like the Einstein and Newton of engine design. Phenomenal talents
I agree they are truly talented individuals,! Thank you Greg
I was talking about the old ways some cam grinders made masters. Now most masters are made on CNC grinders and many cams are ground on CNC grinders, but the cam lobe still has to be designed.
Isky for example? I ran as Isky 4HHH track cam in a 354 Hemi which was incredibly smooth and tractable but with injection gave great throttle response. In contrast i have a BOP alloy V8 running a cam ground locally which has a grind stolen from one designed for a BMC a series engine (Austin Healy sprite,Mini etc ) while it gives great revs ,there is no bottom end torque etc etc .
Just cant get enough of this stuff!
I own an engine shop and make a pretty decent living. But these guys make me feel dumb. Love these videos.
I bet
That bucket valve 427 sounds really wild as is. They're right, to get more valve lift they need a bigger diameter bucket to accomodate the larger cam.
Love these guys...I'm wondering Greg if these two magicians have ever spoken to David Visard...He's a clever old bugger too...An 80 year old cylinder head flow genius...Just wondering...Love all this stuff mate...Cheers.
You boys sure like setting off car alarms :D
Hearing why something doesn't work is as important a teaching moment as learning how something works. There are many ways to do something wrong.
G'day from West Australia, Greg😉
Ahh nice video to finish of my Friday night.
Cheers🙂👍👍
Oh hell ya brother FE content gets a thumbs up everytime
IF you all by chance ever happen upon a chevy 250 inline 6, i'd pay money to see a ohc for it to allow for crossflow ! These engines are amazing

2 absolutely brilliant minds im impressed every video I watch
Hi Pete. Saw this the second time I'll leave a message always great seeing you. You're a remarkable man 🤯
There is a Swedish company. AGAP that have a custom CNC cam grinding machine. That machine dont use a master and can make rather special camshafts. Mayby they can help?
They need to make a DOHC 427 FE cammer
That's essentially/ basicly what they're showing there! Actually Cammers SOHC which stands for single overhead cam , on top of EACH head ! There NOT DUALL Overhead camshaft engine! .
@jerryparks6123 that is what he was saying this is a single over head cam. Would love for them to build a dual over head cam engine
2 valve, large displacement, clearly doesn't play well with limited bucket lift. Great discussion!
friggin love this channel and content, very very interesting !!!
That thing sounds like its running good enough to stick in my car. 👍👍👍
These are some crazy mad max SOBs i love it
Sounds awesome
I spent an enormous amount of time working with Olds Quad 4 engines. That is a bucket engine also, but 4 valve. And the big mistake that Oldsmobile made was, that the Cam cores were never big enough, so you could not get the lift needed. You could get plenty of valve acceleration, but the lobe area was never large enough. Bucket engines are made to be 4valve engines, so I do understand the problem Pete and Kevin had trying to make a 2 valve engine work.
These 2 ol timers mixed with Steve Morris and they could build a awesome overhead cam engine.
Shame you are on the other side of the country. I would make you a master way cheaper than what you guys got quoted for sure. I really enjoyed seeing something from the history of FORD RACING COBRA ENGINES. Peace
That is some impressive stuff!! I’ve been throwing around the idea of making a v8 based on 4 cylinder engines and this may be the inspiration I need
Have you touched base with David Vizard? He seems to have his fingers in everything!
I was deadset thinking the same thing 👍
Thank you, I just subscribed to his channel! Greg
@@GregQuirin I subscribed to his books,45 years ago.... 😁😁His detailed articles on cylinder head design helped me build small engines into road burners on an apprentices budget.
THE OG's
Radius buckets help a little
Thanks so much for posting these great videos!
I can vouch for comp not knowing what they’re doing, I was doing a cross flow head swap on a in-line 6 Chevy, I needed to revise the cam lobe layout and because I was going to use a chain drive setup instead of gears that meshed , the cam needed to spin counterclockwise. I found one company in the US that offered help.
I need that bullet in my 64Galaxie 500
I don’t get it they say it doesn’t run right? Sounds great to me! I’d love to have something like that in something I have!
Sounds like a gunker to me, as he says cannot get enough lift with cam buckets. Start from scratch with the head and I suspect they will make something good
LDN-what is a “Gunker”? I’m curious, I have no idea what that would be and what exactly is the sound that you hear because it sounds great to me (but that’s not saying much!)
Wish I had a tenth of their knowledge!
Sweet
I hope they hire someone to do their designs in a digital software to document their work! Their genius in getting their work done needs documentation!
Great!! Thanks
My diesel Mercedes has single OHC buckets. :-)
enjoy the videos but the new vid on the Aardema/Braun car in Mirage was deleted?
were dose it all start from ? WHAT IF !
just think of the out come if only Duntov was in the mix
They need a counter rotating shaft on the nose of the crank with a belt going to each Cam
There IS a belt going to each cam !
Well, maybe... time to move on to electronics; With individual solenoids, pickups, and a computer, you can get any duration, timing, and lift you want and even change it on the fly.
Greg I might be wasting my time but I have a idea that might help out Peat and Kevin on cam blanks a lot cheaper than what they are doing I tried to send you a email but it came back to me. any Ideas
These guys were just born alittle too late! The stuff that they were doing is awesome 😎! Except cylinder head technology really started moving forward in the 90s & especially in the 2000s! So why would you spend tons of cash 💰 on something your not sure is going to be much better than regular pushrod stuff, maybe not even as good? Engine RPM is not so much based on how big the Engine is, yes the bigger it is, the harder it is to turn up high! But it has everything to do with required airflow a engine needs! Like old 632s without a raised camshaft, were really limited on horsepower because the big stroke made the rods run into the camshaft! Small block Chevys are the same exact way! Once you get to a 4 in stroke, you really have to pay attention to rod to cam clearances! Anyway getting off topic, Basically if Sonny Leanord could turn 650 cubic inch truckpull engines over 8800 rpm & they pull wide open for over 10 seconds, why would you spend all the extra money trying to reinvent the wheel? The rpm is always dependent by airflow through the engine! Besides pushrod stuff is very common cheap & it just works! I’m sure they could overcome all the issues now, especially with CNC cam grinders, but you still need a good intake tract to actually make the power! I love that they tried! There also was a guy back in the 2000s, I believe his name was Russ Aero? He had Small & Big block Chevy 4 valve per cylinder heads! They were many times better than what was previously available, but people started making regular cylinder heads that would flow similar & make good power! Off the shelf, with no major complications or issues! So I think that’s what put him out! It was cool 😎, still pushrod but 32 valves & it worked, but you just couldn’t overcome costs! I believe that there are CZcams videos from over 10 years ago if you look 👀 up 32 valve SBCs! Most auto manufacturers & racers are looking for the fewest parts possible! The more parts you have, the more the costs & possibly more issues! Never mind the weight & size! It would have been really awesome if these two guys had the machinery we have today back then! That’s the final thing, it used to take tons of time to build things back then! Today you could do a complete real deal race valve job in under 1 hour, especially with a NEWAY EPOC! My boss used to spend a day just doing a competition valve job 🙄🙄🙄🙄!
If you're so knowledgeable and can do real deal race valve jobs in an hour why are you working for someone that isn't as good as you? Got any videos of anything you've done or is that top secret squirrel shit?
I know these guys and they've set many many scta records with handmade engines! They love this stuff and they make mistakes. That's how you learn!
Pete and Kevin do what they do for the fun and passion. It’s has nothing to do with wasting time and money. Both are true innovators and usually succeed with what they intend on doing. They are not late to the game,they have been doing this for a very long time.Pete started at age 14. Both are self taught automotive engineers who have a proven track record of great success with over 30 land speeds records in the books with their one off engine designs. I have a huge amount respect for both Pete and Kevin and truly envy their style, success, and willingness to share their knowledge with world.
