Mine is one of 12 factory 430 bv's I have the build sheet Red is the fastest colour though. I will post a pic. Maybe we could create a gallery of all the 430's on PH? They are the best hehehe

Everyone has the build sheet - factory records are crap at best.

Quite regret not buying that one when it was up for sale. Stonking engine in it.

So are there some 'small valve' 430s out there? I was under the impression that all 430 Chims were BVs?

Not sure how you can tell if it's BV, didn't see anything in my handbook.
But here's a picture... just because

Probably more stock valved than BV's out there IMO still a nice V8 version anyway

Just cos you drive a wheelbarrow there's no need to get sniffy;) It says BV on the original eprom from the ECU too
