Scott,

Good to hear from you. Dean Lampe and I drove over to RK Machine shop (427 Meca, everything you have ever heard about is there....unbelievable) and I bought a 427 S.O. short block standard bore (one sleve), Steel $ crank 10/10, Le Mans rods, Aires flat top pistons for $4000.00. Rick agreed to take it back down and re-check all the tolerances and balance to may satisfaction. I will be bringing my heads and other parts for him to assemble and run in the engine for a minimum of three hours. Then I will load it back up and take back to Tulsa for a DYNO session.

This guy has every Ford Muscle engine you ever imagined in fact he has brand new in the box 427 SOHC heads as well as no less than four 427 SOHC Engines for sale ($20,000.00 for the 2 X 4 Carbed models and $30,000.00 for his blown and injected models). Boss 439's including a one of a kind 3 X 2 set up for a 429. I believe he has no less than 50 427 blocks as well as some of the World Record holder engines that Ford produced. This is a tour anyone near Sillwater, Oklahoma should take. And if you need A N Y FE parts he is the man to call. His name is Rike Kirk and his telephone number is 918-372-4537. He has done proto work for both Ford Racing and GM Racing and he has the proof in his shop.
