It's probably NOT going to be a $20,000 difference, but the OP will have spent probably at least $10,000 to build his 428/462. So will the Kirkham with the KC 482/CSX (or Pond) engine sell for $10,000 more. I dunno, but if they were both priced equally and both cars were equal in every manner but the engine, then I would purchase the Kirkham with the KC 482 engine over the Kirkham with the 428/462 engine all day long.

In fact, I'll take one step further. IMHO, I, ME, MYSELF would pay more for a Kirkham with an aluminum block than I would for a Kirkham with any cast iron block, of course, that would exclude an original SOHC engine.

Of course, others will feel differently.

Yeah right!

You know you would not settle for the iron block SOHC, you want the aluminum SOHC and you would save probably save yourself a ton of money by going with the aluminum version anyway.
