This will be an interesting and very special car and engine build for sure. I know that Dave and Tom can make what it will take to get it into their car. I am sure it will have some trick parts as far as headers and brackets when all done. The engine will be based of a large bore Shelby aluminum block with 4340 steel crank and rods with about 8.5 to 1 compression. Completely ported aluminum SOHC heads that will flow about 420 cfms at .600 lift. Figure that the engine should make in the 1000HP range with about 8 PSI of boost.
Will post some pictures as the build comes along for you guys to see. Just sold the 482C.I. SOHC Cammer engine we had and it is going in a 35 Ford Coupe. Looking at buidling another one for a customer that wants pretty much every thing fully polished. It seems like the SOHC program is coming around a little.
Thanks, Keith Craft

First, hopefully this is a sign that the economy is turning around. Customers spending $38,000 for the 482 and "who knows what" on the 527ci Twin Paxton Cammer engine aren't floating around too much out there.
Second, this Twin Paxton Cammer engine will be AWESOME and you know the Kirkhams can pull stuff like this off. This is the kind of engine the Billet Kirkham should have had.
Can't wait to read about it.
