Thanks Maurice, I will take you up on that, this time I will bring my ear plugs

. All my kids are married except my youngest, she is 12 so I have time to get the Kirkham in way before that happens.
Yes Tom has been great in our preliminary conversations, we have discussed keeping it more old school, original 427 SO block/motor, with Edelbrock Ported heads and a Victor intake, diamond racing pistons, H beam rods etc... with a Holley 830 carb. But the more I read about an all aluminum 482, Tom's 482 put's out just over 600HP and 630Torque. So I have a little time to figure that out but right now I'm leaning toward the 482 set up.
