Sheldon. You should DEFINITELY take a ride down to New Britain, Ct. - it's only a couple of hours from you - and visit Peter Portante and Bob Putnam (GM and Head Engineer respectively) at ERA. They build a lot of turnkeys and final price depends a lot on how crazy you want to get on the motor. I had Keith Craft build my 331 stroker motor and ship it to ERA for installation. If you don't go for the Kirkham - ERA is the way to go (my opinion -this is my second cobra). If you DO go for the Kirkham - congratulations - it is first and foremost a company with an impeccable reputation (as is ERA), and their aluminum bodies - and overall engineering, is first class. Kirkham has used quite a few Keith Craft motors (and Keith has a 427 Kirkham).
