Here's the Kirkham Build thread for reference:
Kirkham Motorsports Assembly Manual
"Not too shabby", as Adam Sandler would say.
While I'm sure there will never be another manual the likes of ERA,
I agree that it will take someone with auditor/CPA/legal mentality to fully document the build, since there's no payola at the end of the rainbow, and only potential criticism. Personally, I would rather be flipping burgers (veggie, of course, maybe turkey or buffalo) in the backyard.
Rokndad recently changed from carb to Webers on his CSX and was contemplating putting together a manual of sorts for those who are thinking of installing Webers. Tough work.
