I'm new to the forum, but not new to Cobras. For the longest time I've been planning on dropping the 427 SOHC into a Factory Five. But recently I've been thinking about how smart a move that would be. Dropping a $40K engine into a FFR might not be such a good idea based off of the resale value of the car in the end. I'm not wanting a Cobra as an investment, it would be my toy, but the choices I make about that toy with this engine have to be smart choices. That includes planning to sell it should I ever have to. So the only company in my opinion that makes sense with this engine is a Kirkham. That is a short run down of how I got here.

I'm looking for any insight and advice about a SOHC in a Kirkham, or just owning a Kirkham in general. What to know about, what to look for, etc. Also, if anyone knows this, can you use Vintage Wheel's 17" knock off Halibrands with a Kirkham? I think you can, but I'm not familiar with Kirkhams, I know FFRs like the back of my hand. Lastly, I'd love to see any pictures you guys have of Cammer Kirkhams. I have a few different ones photographically documented, but I'm always looking for more. I'll post more information about my plan after some discussion is going.

Cheers,
Joe
