I've got some thinking to do.
Yes, you have some thinking to do. Remember that Craft had a rather unfortunate flame-out in to bankruptcy court. There were numerous threads on the Ford forums about parts being left for work, shuddered up facilities with itty-bitty signs, "talk to our lawyers" stuff, and the like. There is a still a bad taste in the mouths of of many FE/Cobra/GT40 guys, like this post from Chris just a few weeks ago (along with pics). How you deal with that particular perception is tricky, but perhaps an "older" KC engine can be clearly differentiated from one of the newer ones. I don't know. Mr. M. is pretty good at that sort of thing so maybe he'll give you some suggestions.
