Ed Pink has been a prominent engine builder since 1960 having conquered NHRA INDYCAR USAC and IMSA with his legendary engines. One engine Ed is known for is the iconic Ford 427 SOHC (Single Overhead Cam) or CAMMER V8 used in NHRA competition during the glory days of Garlits, Prudhomme, and others. At age 92 Ed has just finished his FINAL engine build and it is a Ford SOHC 427. We sit down with him to hear his firsthand account of being approached by Ford in 1966 to build these engines for public sale and develop a competitive drag racing program for Lou Baney and Don Prudhomme. Ed Pink is truly a living legend and one of the last living members of the pioneer generation for motorsports in the world.
