Ernie,
It seems to me that the only viable excuse for taking a perfectly good sideoiler out of a kirkham would be to replace it with a Shelby aluminum block.
so that is my guess...... am I right ST?

Have a good one,
Dan

Dan, you guessed right. Hopefully it'll be ready in a couple of months.

In a month or two I'll be selling the sideoiler that I'm currently using in my Kirkham. It will be priced very close to what you're looking to spend.




How Much Would That Be??
