I think a Coyote Kirkham would be awesome. One of those Saturday morning TV car shows put one in a street rod with SOHC-lookalike valve covers. Add a quartet of webers or weber-looking injection. Delicious.

And as far as it violating Kirkham "originality", let's be honest - that train left the station a long time ago. Their electrics, brakes, suspension and details underhood bear no resemblance to an original. Top-shelf workmanship and materials, but no longer original. It's available if you want it, but they've moved beyond that, and their sales and reputation show that there's a market for billet Cobras. So what is really wrong with adding more modern improvement, ie a Coyote powerplant?
