[quote=Flygirl;1153444]Now if I could just figure out why a 427 would blow
oil under pressure out of one of the breather caps.

Most of us small-block affecionados believe the 427 (hell, ANY FE engine) was made by the Brits....
all their automotive gear leaks
oil, and if you buy an FE engined Cobra, chances are pretty good yours will, too.
Lots of reasons why an FE would blow
oil out the breather....the valvetrain on an FE is pretty tricky to set up, most likely there was some issue with the lash on a solid tappet cam or something like that.
Bottom line, though....FE's just leak oil, whether it comes out the breather or the rear main seal or the intake manifold (yeah, that one was just a joke
), or where-ever, they just leak oil.
Not that our small-blocks don't, but it sure gives us something to razz the FE lovers about
(just like we bluegrass musicians make fun of the banjo players....if you're a musician, you'll understand
)!!
