427 in CAV

[Jean]

Hi everybody!
Please help. I saw a post on the forum some time back regarding a 427 in one of our CAV's. I am trying to get some feedback as well as photos of this conversion. Does anybody know the owner or know where I can get hold of him?
Thank you for your help.
Regards
Jean

Was it an FE or a stroked Windsor?

Here are pictures of one of each in a CAV build build by David Wagner in Detroit who was one of the original old CAV dealers.

 

I can put you in contact with Dave Wagner if you like.

The top photo is a Cleveland.

Hi Jim,

Cleveland not Windsor huh? What are the features that you noticed that indicate it is a Cleveland? I must have the two mixed up and would appreciate knowing what to look for in the future. Thanks,

Bob,
The Valve Covers.
Clevelands have 8 bolts.
Windsors have 6 bolts.

Thanks Rich, That's easy enough. 8 Cleveland, 6 Windsor.
