And once you get it in, money wise, it's worthless. An engine less Kirkham roller will sell for as much or more than a non FE equipped completed Kirkham. These cars are expensive and if you use something other than an FE you're going to regret it when you find out how little your car is worth after you complete it. Do some research on Cobra Country or elsewhere and you'll see what I mean. This question has been asked on the Kirkham website and Tom Kirkham felt the same way.

The 428 is an FE.
It'll fit fine, it is correct, as most originals had 428's. I think you're thinking of the 429/460's?
