I have not installed one myself in a Kirkham but they have done a few. I know that they can fix everything where it will go in. Give them a call and I am sure that they can help you out. If I got a roller ready for Kirkham with the headers that they build for the 427 SOHC engine I do not think it would be terrible. The bell housing would be the same as any other FE engine. I know that Tom and Dave could get you most of the stuff that it would take to do in their car.
I know that they have some special stuff planned for this build. The complete car will be a great work of art. I look forward to seeing it all together. We still have to dyno the engine this next week if all goes well. Waiting on some headers right now.
These 427 SOHC engines run about 39,000.00 carbureted and then when you start polishing things and add the electronic stack fuel injection you will be north of 50,000.00Not for everyone but neither are a lot of other things in life. Do this or give it to Obama.

Thanks, Keith
