Update on Motor,

We just dyno'ed the motor and everthing went great and no issues. It made around 595 hp and 550 tq. I am very happy and now it is time to put it back into the Kirkham and do some driving.

BTW, i did get very unhappy not having something to play with while the Cobra was down so I picked up a 1957 Chevy Belair Convertible to play with and I can drive it in the winter...

David

Glad to hear it is headed home. What all did they do to fix it? Complete rebuild or just sleeve etc.?

Winter in Huntington Beach; that would be a frigid 70 degrees?
