Anyone have a good line on a complete SOHC or parts, mainly top end and timing. It can be all apart or assembled. Not looking for NOS or anything period correct special, just want to build an old school SOHC. If I can get a decent deal on an authentic cammer block and all parts, that would be great but really don't know the difference between Ford heads and Coon's heads and what I should be looking for or asking so any help is appreciated.
Also wouldn't mind any feedback from anyone who has built them and if I could use a BBM block or other as a base ? I have a couple 427 SO short blocks I could use as well and may be the easiest route but I'm not opposed to buying the whole deal. Kind of conflicted as I'd like to really flog it but would be hesitant with all original parts. I'm new to SOHC's but have been having fun with FE's for 40 years. Any and all info is welcome, thanks.
