Just found an old Big block Ford V8 in a mates shed,he said it's been in there for over25 years, he pulled it out of an old Fairlane 500,engine number is AZM12071,has CCCAE cast on the heads,gearbox looks like a C4,just curious if someone may know something( Rocker covers look very similar to clevo)

Not sure going by those numbers , a pic might help.
No bigblock ever came with a C4 , although they can be fitted up. Biggest motor that came factory with C4 was a 351M/400
It could be that?

Fairlane 500 = Tank Fairlane? Probably a 332 or 352 FE if original.

If the rocker cover *looks* like a Clevo, could be one; was a popular swap.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say the head codes isn't CCCAE? as they are sometimes hard to read. Could be be C8AE which is C8 - 1968, A - generic Ford and E - Engine which would mean it's not a Clevo or Lima (which look like a BB Clevo). or D0AE with DO - 1970 which would fit in with it being a Clevo head.
