The Windsor 427 is not that strong ...Blocks can split.... With the big stroke, one has to keep the rpm kinda below 6000rpm...... So to put a massive high rev cam is pointless. A 351, or 383 has a better rod-to-stroke ratio so it will easily rev way higher. The Ford also has very large main bearings, resulting in high bearing surface speeds, resulting in spun mains. There are solutions, to easy Chevy main bearing size, which is smaller and revs higher. The rod ratio is probably one of the most important overlooked things.
