picked up my 427SO yesterday
Finally found a 427SO and brought it home yesterday.It is a 68 block with forged pistons .30 over,428 crank,solid roller with roller rockers and edelbrock heads,single plane intake with BIGS carb.I rode in the car it was in before and it was a bit scary (3400 lbs) so it should be about right in my Kirkham.I still need a new oil pan,flywheel and clutch and I want to change out the water pump for an aftermarket aliminum one.Now on the search for the toploader,and appropriate jag differential. chuck |

If you think it was scary in a 3,400# car, wait until you land on the throttle in your 2,400# Kirkham. I would very judicious with the use of my right foot for a while if I were you. Otherwise, the recyclers are going to get a small crumpled ball of aluminum.
All kidding aside, if you haven't had that much power under your foot before, do be very careful. I scared myself several times with my car, just because I got a little too cocky. It still amazes me just how fast a Cobra can get out of shape under power.
BTW the '68 is a hydraulic lifter block, so be sure they blocked the proper passages for use of solids.
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Ain't nuttin' like it!
Al

Hi Chuck (ENTDOC).
Congrats on the motor... Sounds great.
You said u needed a jag diff...
Wouldn't the Kirkhams be the source for that?
Or am I missing something??

Chuck,
Thanks for the offer. I will definately give you a call after the Turkey Day holidays and see when I might Darken your Garaqe.
I feel almost as stoked as you must be just to have a Kirkham in the area.
Regards,
Keith |
