As I understand it, the 2004 SEMA display was organized at the FORD booth and the Kirkham was to represent a component car that might use one of the fine Ford crate motors that they were featuring at SEMA. Of course the people who know realize the Kirkham was just eye candy. The 351W crate motors Ford was displaying would not be likely to be used in a Kirkham 427.

So I think the car was just a chassis at that point and had no pipes or even a motor in it. I haven't seen any photos of the motor from the SEMA display. Today it looks like this:




The GY Billboards are a little aged since they are from the 2004 show Wearing Avon CR6ZZs lately.

Ted ... here you go. The timing belt is very hard to see as it is behind the waterpump:
