Question Ford 8.8" in Kirkham 427

Since, once I have the wherewithal, I would only consider a Kirkham 427, I was wondering: can the Ford 8.8" differential be utilized in the Kirkham as a more cost-effective alternative to other offerings? I'm one of those folks where overall cost is an important factor, but I am not willing to compromise on quality (aka champagne diet, beer budget).

I noticed that when the Kirkhams were experimenting with fiberglass and offering "the 25k deal" they mentioned that their package would include a Ford 8.8" rear differential as they had been able to modify the frame to accept it; I know that they aren't pursuing the fiberglass body anymore, but I'm just curious to know if they would still offer the Ford differential in any of their current cars? (Mr. Kirkham, you should know that I am still a few years away from being able to seriously contemplate purchasing one of your cars, but I view your website often.)

Thank you
