I would do as many others suggested in this thread..."talk with David and Tom Kirkham. They will absolutely steer you in the right direction with what you should do based on what you want out of the car.

I am guessing that you took advantage of the smoking deal that they had offered on the Kirkham Roller...If it were me ( and is too! ) I would go all out on the motor, I chose to go with a Big Block Stroker using the Shelby aluminum side oiler block - 484ci W/ aluminum heads. I went with Southern Automotive to build my motor...Bill and Susan run their business very much like the Kirkhams... family run - - with skill, craftsmanship and most importantly stand behind thier product 110% ( my last stroker motor was from them and it was a 'reliable' Monster). I also went with the Top Loader.

Good luck on your choice, you have done very well so far!
