Hi Resto,
If you're after long term value in a street driven Kirkham 289, what's your reasoning on leaning towards an aluminium 351 block?
I like Three Peaks suggestion of an original 289, and build that up with a nice light, well balanced rotating assembly, with suitably revvy - but not peaky - cam, and Webers?
Looking forward to following whatever you decide to do!
Cheers,
Glen
