Yawn.
Personally, I would have put a Chevy LS engine like the Aussies do, but when a Kirkham comes up for sale in the States, they nearly always have FE’s. So, resale or money was a factor. And the FE was just a plain easy and headache free installation. And I appreciate the easy path.
What I didn’t do, is install a toploader, date coded side oiler, Shelby badges, Smith gauges, ID plate, paint, etc., or even buy a CSX, to achieve the most “accurate replica.”
