I am ready to order the engine for my Kirkham. Here is what has been spec'd out with the help of the engine builder...There is not a forum anywhere else on the planet with more than cobra/427 knowledge than what exists right here at Club Cobra so I am looking for some the wisdom and knowledge that exists around here. Send me a note if you think I should change, look at something else, or re-consider. Thanks in advance.
