The "proper" 427 would have been an FE.

Building a 427ci Windsor doesn't make it any more original, nor does trying to disguise it as an FE by putting valve cover adapters on it. It blows my mind the lengths that people will go to, in order to make things look like something they're not.

An all-iron FE may be heavier, but they certainly didn't have any issues with weight back in the day.

The "heat of a big block" is a wives' tale. Why would a 427ci FE put out more heat than a 427ci SBF?
