Kirkham machined the special motor mount adapters and judging from my Conversations w/ David, it was not easy. The finishing work was done by HRE on Long Island. Bill Andrews has one of the largest experiences w/ Shelby's and he also did my CSX. He is a perfectionist. The car actually arrived sans mounts and Billy did not know that until he tried to put the 351W in. Anyway, quickly realized the correct mounts were needed and it was really just an oversight by Kirkham that the mounts were not sent w/ the car. The exhaust fabrication was done by a company on Long Island and because of the 351 on a 427 chassis it took some doing and more $$$ than I would have liked. I will try to get pics of the mounts and headers but I am pressed for time as we are going away for vacation.
