...and if you prefer a modern alloy block, they are pretty cool. A Shelby block is very nice, just don't piss on my back and tell me it's raining by calling it a 1965 side oiler.
Just keeping it real.
Glass Shelby or alloy Kirkham, for about the same money? Hmmm, that is a tough call for me. I think it might depend on what Shelby is up to on any given month which way the wind blows.
I'm sure your not alone in that RodKnock, nothing wrong with the idea.
