will these engines you are going to do be using the new pond cammer heads or the coons heads

Mine will have Bill Coon Heads w/ Ferrea Valves. I think the same for the others. Darren

Darren, if possible can you (or the Kirkhams) please photo document the modifications to the Kirkham that are/will be necessary to install a Cammer.

You know, just for giggles, since I have no desire to install one in my Kirkham.

[N2VENOM]

No problem. We will be starting a thread very soon on not only the KMP build, but also the Cammer. I was told today that ALL parts are ordered and on the way. I ordered the Hilborn Injection today. I think KMP500 LaMans is starting to feel left out. I better take it out for a drive today.

We will using theCoon heads at the moment because Robert Pond does not have his heads out. With a lot of the parts that we use we may be using both in the future if both are a good product.
I have already done several of the Bill coon heads and they are nice. The last engine I did had the Coon heads on it and it ran very well. He is just slow in getting them done. I have 5 sets on order right now as well as one set coming that he has owed me for another deal. He will probably not have the heads ready for 2 months. I may try to get more but he get 50 heads cast and machined all at once to save money and this happens about once or twice a year so they can be hard to get. It is also hard for me to stock 30,000.00 to 40,000.00 in just Cammer heads but that is about what we have to do to have any. Robert hopes to keep some on the shelf and if they check out good which I believe they will it will give us more options.

Thanks, Keith
