I have an aluminum block Ford Windsor made by World. It was going to be for a 10.5 Drag Car then I decided I would rather build a GT40 with the motor. I have a Callies Forged Crank and the stroke and bore will yield a displacement of 427 c.i.

I've been looking at the RCR GT40 MkI and wondered whether that vehicle would accept the 351 Windsor size block or would I have to go to a MkII.

I would also like to ask the opinions of the members here about which company makes the best quality Mk I or Mk II kits. I realize this isn't an
easy question to answer but hopefully it will help me concentrate my research on the few best manufacturers.

Thanks, EZ
As you're in Canada, I trust you're aware of and have investigated the issues of 'kit cars' vs 'starter kits', particularly with regard to what Transport Canada will accept / allow. If not, I suggest spending some time on that before getting too deep into the issue of supplier selection.

BTW, it was my understanding Superformance can, once again, be imported into Canada after a decades-long embargo. That may apply only to roadsters / Cobras, but it would be worth checking with their Canadian connection. Check out this link: Kirkhams in Canada.
