Engines Exposed 2015
1933 Willys Drag Racer V-8 cylinder engine, supercharged,
single overhead camshaft, 427 cubic inches displacement, 1,200 horsepower
Originally equipped with a 414-cubic-inch Cadillac V-8, and then a 389 Chevy V-8, “Ohio George” Montgomery’s Willys got its current 427 Ford in 1966. The Ford engines were in such short supply that Montgomery received his a few pieces at a time. The magnesium supercharger at top pumps
a pressurized fuel-air mixture into the cylinders, and the exhaust pipes venting directly from the cylinder heads eliminate back pressure. Both features increase the engine’s power.
