If you think it was scary in a 3,400# car, wait until you land on the throttle in your 2,400# Kirkham. I would very judicious with the use of my right foot for a while if I were you. Otherwise, the recyclers are going to get a small crumpled ball of aluminum.

All kidding aside, if you haven't had that much power under your foot before, do be very careful. I scared myself several times with my car, just because I got a little too cocky. It still amazes me just how fast a Cobra can get out of shape under power.

BTW the '68 is a hydraulic lifter block, so be sure they blocked the proper passages for use of solids.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Ain't nuttin' like it!
