Yes, you did.

However, let me point out how costs can escalate in a hurry for some.

Some may choose to go with an CSX/Pond aluminum block, "Stage 2" heads, Aviaid oil pan, 4340 crank, turkey pan, puke tank, aluminum rear end, change factory Kirkham muffler to Hushpower, carpeting the trunk, additional fire extinguisher mounted in front of the passenger seat, changing out all the stock Kirkham dash switches (the stock ones weren't good), adding a self-canceling turn signal, corner balancing, Raydot side mirrors, S/C vents in fenderwell for headers, radiator catch can, additional gas cap mounted inside of exterior gas cap to pass track tech inspection, etc., etc., etc. The list goes on and on and on. Many owners simply choose to upgrade the Kirkham's factory package.

Add labor for owners like me who don't have the skills or time. Also some owners change or add parts to make their cars closer to original spec.
