SKAIRLANE! GEAR GRABBIN' GASSER! FE 427 SOHC INJECTED '55 FORD FAIRLANE! BYRON DRAGWAY!

- The gasser car scene has seen an increase in popularity in recent years and Jeff Jacobson's '55 Ford Fairlane is one example why. Jeff built and painted the car along with his "Border Bandits" crew in his Beloit, Wisconsin Brothers Auto Body Shop and Jacobson Speed Shop. All the lettering is the handiwork of Jason Vanderwoude at NSD paintwerks. The "Skairlane" is powered by an Hillborn mechanically injected FE 427 SOHC built by Mike and Matt Faucher with pistons by Ric Panneton who also helped out with the car build. This setup, along with the custom fender well headers by Jacobson Speed Shop and a G Force 101A 4 speed make for the loud gear grabbing wheels up insane passes the crowds come to see! The beautiful interior sports custom seats and headrests stitched up by Mikey Brown of Mikey's Upholstery. Props go out to Quain Stott and the South East Gassers for help along the way also. Last but not least is Jeff's back up girl and wife Amanda for all her help and support.

Nice blown hemi, but the Skarlaine Cammer was faster (no blower needed) ! Very brave driver in the '55 Ford, looked really squirrelly at the top end !
Hit the Hammer with a Cammer.
HE SURE AINT SCARED !!! LETS JUST BUILD 2 CARS BEGINNING WITH THE TWO GREATEST ENGINES EVER CREATED BY MAN WOW WOW WOW !!
Got a question costed to build one those cars !!!?? What are they sell for !!!?? In to days market !!!???
Person put alot money in motor
I would love to actually hear more of the car instead of that damn music.
It wouldn't be so bad if the music were not crap music.
@@JohnSmith-wd9rc at least it's better than rap
The only music I need to hear is under the hood.
@@edwardspaccarelli5944 ,
My same sentiments.
What a beast, yanking the wheels off the road going into 3rd.
Rowing through the gears like a real man
Nothing beats and old school gasser with injection ! Love the red glass and matching scoop... launches like a bat outta hell 😎
Love this beast!!! That 427 sohc makes the sweetest music!!!
Yeah, everything about this car does it for me. COOL Ford body, and COOLER Ford SOHC engine !!
Love me a Ford.
When they were in A/FX and Funny Car etc. etc. and were running right, no Mopar Hemi would touch them ! I was there
I have a 427 FE mid riser / 4 speed powered 2 door 55 Fairlane Club Sedan gasser Ive built in the last 2 years. Shes no 427 SOHC kinda powered old girl but she damn for sure gets with the program . Best 1/4 mile so far has been 11.22 @ 134.34 mph . Having some traction issues still but will eventually get her to hook like she should
May the Ford be with you!
The throttle response with that sohc engine is explosive . And it sounds very different to the push equivalent .
Man I love love old gassers. This Fairlane is beautiful.
check out southeast gassers association.
Kill the music. More engine sound.
AGREED! Theres NO better music than a V8 at 7500rpm!
No Shit car guys ! Take note , music is for AFTER the engines are off ! Grow a brain , please .
Agreed, kill the damn music
No kidding
Gorgeous race car with a young man driving it. It's so cool to see the young preserve that old stuff. My glory years were spent with S code FEs. As boat anchor as those things felt and looked while building and installing them they sure ran good.
"Iron Men Don't Wear Bow Ties." Hot Rod mag spring 83, "390 To Go" and the rear valance on my race cars.
Sweet! I'm a Mopar guy but I love all of the old iron.
Me Too
Mopar or no car!
@@NewJerzey422531 I'm with you
Same here my brother.
perfect balance between violence and beauty. love this rig.
I've seen this beast twice. In 2018 he took home the A gas trophy in Lyons Indiana.
The best looking Ford's ever made were the 55-56 models and the 63 1/2 Galaxie. The 57 Ford's and the 61 Starliner were great looking cars too
56 fairlane best looking lights on the best body. Galaxie I gotta have have a regular 63 instead.
Was the Starliner the model with the expanded windshield that came up and back on the roof? My grandfather had one. I always thought that car was so futuristic.
1961 Starliner with a built SOHC would be..🥰🥰
Amen Mr.No words more clearer pure water
The Falcons were pretty sweet looking too. Not to mention the Torino's, Rancheros. Everybody always thinks Mustang but Ford produced some of the best looking cars we've ever seen.
That 427 SOHC was ahead of its time!
Sure was .it was the scammer
Fast eddie schartman and dyno don ran these engines.the funny car days.cool man
@@ralphlamermier6558 Dyno won over 90% of his match races ! When they were right , no Chrysler Hemi would win . I was there.
@@ralphlamermier6558
Connie Kalitta once called this engine the engine that never actually reached its full potential. Ford killed their racing program after 1970. That opened the door for the Chrysler Hemi.
@adcoxrobert3786 Yeah right.If the Cammer had been allowed to run in Nascar which is what it was designed for The Hemi's wouldn't have seen which way it went.It went drag racing instead and still won many races even with limited factory and aftermarket support and not many engines were built either. As said before ,this engine never reached it's full potential.
The key phrase to what you just wrote "Chrysler was developing..." Well, what happened to it? There always has been a "woulda coulda" but this guys Ford is a was and still is@adcoxrobert3786
Jeez. Now that's a sweet ride. The front fenders so shiney it looked transparent. Oh yeah. And the ride. Every hair on me stood up listening at that thing going down the track. Great video. I gotta share this with the old pops. He loves these old Fairlanes. So do I.
Beautiful Byron Hellinois, THE PLAYGROUND OF POWER and my backyard since 67😊
bad ass Ford too👍
First off, what a blast to watch this car get down the track. Thank you! It so reminds me of the A/FX funny cars of the mid 60's. The big jump at the launch and the wheel hops going through the gears, even the engine sound of a Hilborn injected 427 and the 8k gear shifts. 34 dislikes, WTH???
34 dislikes= Chevy fan boys
The Best Part it is a stick 4 Speed nothing beats hearing gears being punched.
Beautiful sounding brutality, there's nothin like those Big Block Ford FE motors, what a fantastic machine....
One fast ass gasser...low 9s on old skill set up. Love it
FORD blue oval nation!
The best there is. It’s the car manufacturer in the world with the best racing history.
Wrong.Chrysler dominated drag racing.Also stock car racing until they banned the Hemi.The great Chrysler Hemi was and still is the greatest racing engine ever.
@@dday9257 Yah right. Nobody could touch Don Nicholson, Mickey Thompson or Tasca Ford back in the day or anyone else running a SOHC. The SOHC was so bad ass that NASCAR banned it because they knew it would have destroyed your precious 426 hemi had they let it run. David Pearson won his fair share of races though against the hemi in a 427 powered Ford.
9.28 @ 138
@@dday9257 cluless. The Cammer humbled Chrysler until it was no longer supported in 70/71, 64 T-bolts ruled, Ford had more stock car wins from 60-70 than anyone, Ford went to LeMans and stomped the world 4 yrs in a row, decimated Chrysler in SCCA racing, the 351C was the most handicapped engine in drag racing with Dyno Don and Bob Glidden blowing everyone away, and to this day the Coyote is the ONLY factory sealed engine (with supporting mods) that's gone 7s in a quarter and the standing mile record has been held by three different Ford GTs since 2011 with the current record @ 300.4 mph with a(modded) factory cast block and heads 5.4l.
@@chadkent1241 I guess if you want to live in a fantasy world that’s your business.
Gotta' LOVE the sound of a nice crisp gear-jammin' gasser !!!!!!!!
This takes a professional driver to pull those times off. Watch at the end of the track on his last pass how the car is wanting to get squirrelly at the worse possible moment. To stay on it during that is incredible. Great car, great driver. Love SEGA!!!
He's hitting 4th and blowing the tires off that's big power.
Couldn't be any better. Perfect combination of car and engine.
NOW THATS HOW YOU DELIVER THE TORQUE.THANXS FOR THE SHOW BRO MERCY MERCY ON THE COMPITITION.
Cool old school hand made bead lock setup. Fear starts with FE...awesome!
Driver,
You are crazy! Love the car and the speed shifting was awesome! Getting light under the front tires in 2nd gear was bad ass! Long live the FE!
HELL YEA! That's a tune I could listen to 24/7 !
A n D Thats All
I second that, We can hear a 427...24/7!!
Sweet, I have watched this car run with the Southest Gassers many times on TH-cam, but this is the first time I've noticed the red paint almost has a red tinted chrome effect. Very nice.
"Fear Starts With FE"!!!!!!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! 👍🏻😉
Hell Yeah!🤟
Love the 55 and 56 Fords. They make great race cars.
the 57 ford out sold the 57 chevy
@@erniew5805 ,I have a 57 Ford Fairlane,two door hardtop,that my Grandfather bought in 1960,312 three on the tree.It is a great car.
My dad had a 57 Ford station wagon and he hauled firewood in it. It was tougher than any truck built today.
LOVE IT takes me back to the days I loved racing!
FYI: Music ends at 2:25. You're welcome
Maybe they will take that as a hint.
Everyone's a video producer!
@@Pappy63 I have over 3 million views on my page and none of my stuff do I put music on.
birdhaus2021 the music starts at 2:25
@@TheBb6prelude How true!!
Got to see this beast at Byron a couple times. Very nice build and choice of engine can't be beat! Love the dropped n drilled front axle, such a perfect period look. Hope to see you this summer!
When the music finally stopped, the real music started and the name of the song is HEAVY METAL EXIT!!!
The hell with music! Let's here the horsepower!!
Yep , I keep telling these dorks .
I don't care who you are or what make of car and engine you worship this is freakin impressive
Totally awesome engineering and craftsmanship !!!!!!! I am impressed with your attention to details in your build. Thanks for sharing!!!! I learned so much!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
I heard that! I was a regular at Tri-City Dragway in Saginaw/Bay City the 70's. We has some seriously badass cars there. Don Garlits, Connie Kalitta, Shirley Muldowney, Hemi Under Glass. Don Prudhomme, really, I can't even remember them all. We used to walk right into the pits and get that Nitro exhaust right in our faces. Amazing to see this old Gasser. Fantastic car!
Loved it! Suspension needs a bit more tweaking, but that kind of suspension is a bear to dial in. I'd be up for the challenge if it were mine.
Wanted to see an in-car with that ramrod 4 spd. shifter in action.
Nice need more of this kind of stuff
Beautiful Ford, thanks for sharing.
I kept waiting for him to hold it full throttle all the way down and he still lifted early on the 9.05 pass . 138 mph is mid nines so it has more mph than that if he stays in it all the way through . I expect it could run 150mph and 8.90' E.T.'s , sweet car
Faster than anything I have ever owned and a beautiful car but he is scrubbing MPH and ET without some suspension tuning. Again....an A+ ride.
About time someone built a 55 Ford Glaser looks better than the 55 chevys to many of those on the track good luck and have fun😈
That looks like a hell of a ride.
Very nice! So clean, nothing extra hangin on
That car has a beast under the hood. It's not just a hotrod, it's a race car.😳😆👍
Hold onto your SOHCs, it's gonna be a hell of a ride!
I was hoping to see you get into the 8s, but 9:05 is impressive.
The car since has run below 9s at over 150mph
I wish people would get it that we want to hear engines and track sounds not music. But, no 55 Ford with a Y block ever sounded or ran like that, good stuff ! Cool car congrats.
And the guy is shifting gears!!!! Respect.
Crazy seen daylight under rear tire too during run
Yea, I noticed it too, How to meet the Wall......
Its happening on the 2-3 shift.
Might need to adjust the dampening on the rear shocks.
9.05 I believe was the last 1/4 time. That's very shocking to me. Usually takes a muscle car on big tires to get below 10 seconds. Obviously the set up on this machine is working very well. Great work all around dude. Even the driving. You make it look easy.
Sick build, sounds wicked!
The motor alone is worth more than entire car. Hard to believe but true.🛠👍😎
That timing chain is just about 8 feet long!
Really well done set up...This thing just diggs in and leaps out of the hole. Hard to beat a gasser..........
Habrá pensado Henry en el legado que nos dejó 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 Gracias gracias gracias Maestro
That 'Cammer' slings that big buggy down the 1320 like it was a Go-Kart! lol. Something about the SOHC that no other engine can match up with. Very nice car, thanks for sharing it with all of us.
FE 427 - enough said ?
Almost an 8 sec. Pass too.
I'm sure it does 8s when the chassis is hooked up.
Vicious , super clean build
BAD ASS looking car nice job on it , one my favorite car's and years , nicely done
Great car. Brings back my high school days. I had a 56 victoria fairlane, blue and white , 400hp. / 312 y block. built it to hot for the street back then but had many fun times a quarter mile at a time.
little1reefard
I always thought these made cool gassers, they’ve got the perfect look , at least to me.
That is a bad ass car,with a bad ass driver,,! Man u driving thay ford! 👍👍👍👍
That's a bad ass ride! Good jammin' tune too.
Sounds amazing, we are building a '56 Ford Customline gasser. Yblock powered. Top Loader Four Speed.
Speed & Chrome
I’m doing a 51 prefect gasser..327glide combination
Best of luck with your build!
Looking to have a play in the Australian gasser scene.
Jimmy J nice. I forgot to mention mine is also an altered. We moved the rear forward 12 inches. 🤟
Speed & Chrome You should post some videos, that sounds like a sweet project!
@@rustyjeep2469 We have one video completed, a part 1 of the build, and it will be up on the TH-cam channel soon. We have a lot of content coming. I have a dedicated facebook page for the build. facebook.com/cannedmonster/ Thanks for subscribing!!
My favorite engine ! hard to explain but they seem to have a soul. the sound, low down grunt and the look of them... 239, 256, 272, 292.312... 1954 to 1964.
Fear starts with FE! What a monster...
Very nice! I'm a big fan of the 427... never was fortunate enough to own one but maybe someday. Heckuva build, enjoy the power!
I could swear I saw a piece of a "bowtie" fly out the tailpipe. Or maybe part of a JD Powers award. Lol!!!
And now Chevrolet has partnered with China, making parts and cars.
There's is no engine on Earth that sounds better than an old FE hitting the revs backed by a 4 speed.
Love the dual strips of rubber all the way down on the first run
Damn, I love these shifter cars!!!!
Really cool ride. I’m sure he will crack the 8’s
Back in the day my father owned a two tone 56 crown, it was the talk of the neighborhood.
Very nice car, love that motor, very rare.
Very nice work on the car! Great driving as well!
That is one wicked ride! Awesome!
This thing is as angry and pissed off as it gets! ... Badass machine
Guys if you gotta tee shirt with Fear Starts With FE on it I'll take it in a mens large. Was hoping you'd get that 8. Next time.
Skaird ... damn right. Looks pretty squirrely on the top end.
That is sick. I love the 55-56 Ford body style and it's got the BADDEST engine ever to come outta Dearborn under the hood. It doesn't get much cooler than this car
Driver certainly has some mad skillz handling that beast!! 👍🏼🇺🇸
Thats one fast and beautiful car, great job guys
Wow that car is beautiful! 👍
Looks like possible competition for Blasphemi.
Many people have said that I would run him for sure
@@Jacobsonspeedshop would be a great race
This car is faster N/A then Blasphemi's blown Mopar!
@@tomparry4313 False Blasphemi's fastest pass so far has been 8.689 @160.48 mph.
@@marcomacias8941 pretty close to be honest. 9.0's can keep up with 8.6's when it's Finnegan that needs to pull the numbers,.....
Beautiful machine! Love the color 🤘🏻
Just AWESOME !!!!! : D
Fear Starts with "FE" !!! I Dig it !! : D
hello friend good video uploaded thank you so much nice cars 😋
That deadly Ford second gear. The car wants to come up on all four wheels🤣 That is serious torque. I love that motor. The elephant gun 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No school better than old school!
Love it!! I have a four door wish mine was like this!!😀 A plus video. Thanks
Love it. It doesn't sound that radical of a cam.
The idle had to be really high to keep the plugs from loading up. Plus the initial timing had to be up there and they wouldn't idle low because of fouling. The lopey idle could be done, just not at the track. Just an FYI. R45 were expensive even then.
9.21 ET .. gasser cap is what 8.50 ?
Still, once you keep all four wheels on the ground it moves right along.
In the 8s now
Love that 55'! I bought a blue and white 2 Dr post when I was 17 for 75 bucks back in 86'
Love that " Fear starts with FE" have built a few of those torque monsters. I had a 67 Ford Fairlane GTA that had a 428cj that had a solid lifter cam, roller rockers, domed 12.5 to 1, heads shaved made 650rwhp/700ft/lbs of torque.
I like to watch the gassers go down the track. Looks a little squirrely so I get the name on the side of the car. Nice work
Almost in 8s with that fantastic camera! Love it!
Amazing car, an even more amazing engine. Ford really does have a better Idea..
