[b]Pompano Beach, FL - October 2007 - Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. has announced it has made unprecedented advances in external combustion engine technology. The patented Green Revolution Engine(TM) marks what the company believes to be the next real alternative to oil burning, environmentally-polluting, internal combustion engines.

The engine offers a clean burning, non-polluting alternative to current gasoline and diesel powered internal combustion engines - an engine with low emissions and cool exhaust. Picture a future in which the engines that power our lawn equipment, generators and cars are capable of running on virtually any fuel, including pure ethanol and other bio-fuels, making us less dependent upon unstable foreign oil supplies. The engine is compact, lightweight and less expensive to manufacture and operate than I/C engines, but powerful enough to run equipment as large as busses, trucks, locomotives and ships. Cyclone's Green Revolution Engine? is that engine of the future, and it is here now.

Cyclone's unique engine has numerous advantages over traditional I/C engines:

* The heat it generates is "harvested," conserved and recycled within the engine, greatly lessening the energy and pollutants expelled into the environment, and fuels within the engine burn at lower temperatures and pressures. These processes obviate the need for costly catalytic converters to filter noxious fumes, and greatly reduce the production and expulsion of greenhouse gasses that contribute to global warming.

* The Cyclone engine can run on any type of fuel - liquid or gaseous - making it relatively independent of shortages or price spikes in particular fuels. The engine has been successfully tested on ethanol, bio-diesel and even d-Limonene, a fuel made from orange peels, as well as traditional petroleum-based fuels. Additionally, it is lubricated with de-ionized water instead of motor oil.

Great, if they can get it to sound like a V8, I think they are on to something.

Hi `Bill,
[:-]
They haven't been able to get it to sound like a V-8,
but they do supply a CD with the sounds of a monster
V-8 to play while your drive [8D]kewl : )
I'm just happy to read that there are companies out there
working on a solution : )
Peace out, `Space

Space, here is the info you wanted. I got this info from www.musclecarclub.com


427 Cammer


1965








Comments: Without a doubt the most powerful engine ever made, the Ford 427 Cammer was developed with the intention of taking on Chrysler's Hemis. Ford gave the 427 block new heads with hemispherical combustion chambers. To cap that, they fitted overhead camshafts -- one per cylinder bank -- which gave the engine its name and allowed it to rev to an unheard of 7,500 rpm. With the regular single four barrel carb, the "cammer" put out 616 bhp, but with dual four-barrels, it produced a massive 657 bhp. With this kind of power, the "cammer" 427 was totally unsuitable for street use. These engines were not sold to the general public, but about 50 examples were built, mostly for professional drag racers. Because of the low production volumes, NASCAR refused to accept the engine as a regular production option, and thus Ford couldn't use the engine to combat the Hemi's. This sealed this engine's fate and Ford discontinued it after 1965.

Ratings:
1x4bbl: 616bhp @ 7500rpm. 2x4bbl: 657 bhp @ 7500rpm, 550 lb-ft.

Installation:

Total Production:

Chevrolet 427 ZL1


1969








The ZL1 engine was based on the regular Chevrolet 427 engine. However, instead of the regular iron-block and head L72 found in the regular 427 engine, the ZL1 sported aluminum heads and the first aluminum block ever made by Chevrolet. It shared the L88 aluminum head/iron block's engine rating of 430bhp but made closer to 500bhp -- making it probably the most powerful engine Chevrolet ever offered to the public. And the engine weighed just 500 pounds, the same as Chevy's 327 small block. The ZL-1 was made available only for 1969 under COPO 9560 and Chevrolet needed to install 50 copies to qualify the ZL1 Camaro for racing. Chevrolet eventually built 69 Camaros and 2 Corvettes with the ZL1 engine. ZL1 cars were blessed with a 5 year/50,000 mile warranty and were fully street legal. With factory exhausts and tires, ZL1 Camaros could turn low 13s; with headers and slicks, they could turn 11.6s @ 122mph. This was the fastest car ever produced by Chevrolet. Performance had its price - $4,160 for the ZL1 engine alone pushing the price of the Camaro ZL1 to an unbelieveable $7,200 (about double the price for a SS396 Camaro).

Ratings:
427 V8 430bhp@5200rpm, 450lb-ft@4400rpm

Installation:
1969 Chevrolet Camaros: 69.
1969 Chevrolet Corvettes: 2

Total Production: 71.

Here is some more info. This is a write up on the 1968 Ford Mustang. The production numbers show a 427. I know Ford put a 427 (detuned version) in a few cars after the 1965 version was not allowed in NASCAR.

1968 Ford Mustang








Comments: The 1968 Ford Mustang received a simpler grille and side trim and a limited number of 427 engines were slipped into the engine bays. These 427 engines were slightly detuned but still cranked out 390bhp, enough to strike fear on the streets. Then on April 1, 1968, Ford unveiled perhaps its most famous line of engines, the 428 Cobra Jet. It was based on the regular 428 but included larger valve heads, the race 427's intake manifold, and an oil-pan windage tray. It had ram-air induction and breathed through a functional hood scoop. Output was listed at 335bhp but was rumoured to be around 410bhp. The Shelby's were still available, joined by an available convertible model and renamed the Shelby Cobra. The GT-350 dropped its 289 cid 306 bhp engine and gained a 302 cid 250 bhp engine. Midway through the year, the GT-500 was dropped and was replaced by the GT-500KR ("King of the Road"). The GT-500KR sported the new Ram Air 428 Cobra Jet, still underrated at 335 bhp.

Production:
2D Hardtop: 249,447
Fastback: 42,581
Convertible: 25,376

Engines:
200 I6 115 bhp.
200 I6 120 bhp.
289 V8 195 bhp.
289 V8 271 bhp.
302 V8 230 bhp.
(Shelby Cobra GT-350) 302 V8 250 bhp.
390 V8 320 bhp.
390 V8 325 bhp.
427 V8 390 bhp.
(Cobra Jet) 428 V8 335 bhp @ 5400 rpm (est. 410bhp), 440 lb-ft @ 3400rpm.
(Shelby Cobra GT-500) 428 V8 350 bhp.

Performance:
(Cobra Jet) 428/335: 0-60 in 5.4 sec, 1/4 mile in 14.01@101mph.

I was thinking the 427 anniversary engine would look sweet between the rails of my wife's '82 Old's 98 Regency 2 dr. coupe, replacing that 307. Can we say "Varoom, varoom"?
