Yes, this topic has evolved from the title. Apologies. But, it was a progression as more information unfolded. Especially the unexpected high cost of the Kirkham (~$250K).

The continuing interest is in a small block Cobra. Primarily a Slabside or perhaps an FIA.

I suppose I can stop writing to this thread because of the now potentially misleading title and create something new as needed.
