Photos show the frame as being a 427 unit, (coil spring).
I've wondered how they deal with the body and frame width difference between the 260/289 cars ( transverse leaf spring) and the 427 coil spring chassis they use for the small block cars. 260/289 chassis main rails were 3", 427 were 4" dia, and 427 frames and bodies are wider (by 4" ?) So is a kirkham 289 coil spring car the same but modified 427 frame and body, or do they narrow the whole thing down to 289 dimensions?
