Wow, is this exciting. Actully mentioning F1 technology in an old Cobra Kit car. My powerplant for my new Kirkham is a good old 427 S/o with a bad to the bone set of low riser heads and a solid cam with the 427 steel crank. Nice stock engine. Mainly left over parts. Because after I figure out the car it will slip right in my "Slick 60" Cobra pulling truck and be replaced with a new- Kirkham Block and a set of HR heads. I will want it to sing like my Murcielago. It sounds like it will. Could you imagine back in the day if Ken Miles was given a 427 that weighed less than a 289. Sort of like that Sci-Fi movie where the nuclear aircraft carrier was stuck back in time during the Pearl Harbor attack. History would be different.
