I like mod motors and i am currently putting one in a 67 mustang fastback. Its a lot of work, no matter what car you retrofit one into. Sensors, computer, extra wiring, different engine mounts, radiator connections, different length transmission, different length driveshaft, plugs, fittings, etc. etc etc. and that is if you dont go with a supercharged engine. Superchared opens up a whole new can of worms. For the money you would end up spending retrofitting it into a kirkham, you could probably buy an FE with a mass-flo EFi system or fast efi system and have a lot less headaches.
I think the Kirkham cars are works of Art and i would not personally refer to them as "kits". I reserve that term for hand laid fiberglass cars that come in a semi full of boxes with ill fitting parts, ride like a dune buggy, and require donor parts, but that is just me.
Good luck, whatever your decision.
