This will be interesting to watch. Keith's engines are amazing as I just started my all aluminum KC 496 FE last week and talk about awesome!!!! Watching this project go in a Cobra will be of great interest. Putting twin paxtons on a SOHC would be a challenge in itself and then to stick it in a Kirkham...........

Hey guys,
These are exciting times. We are actually building 3 cammer cars right now.
Fuel injected Cammer--polished aluminum body
Twin Paxton Cammer--brushed aluminum body
"Normal" Cammer.........with a polished COPPER body.
We'll post pics as we get going. Designing the twin Paxton set up will be a challenge, but I can't wait to see it all together.
Maybe Thomas and I will have to make a 4th Cammer. The shop needs a new parts runner

Hey David, do you think it's time to tell everyone about our "special body modifications" on the polished cammer? Peace, Darren.

Sure
I'm thinking at some time we should start individual threads for each of the cars.

David, how about a cross country trip when these projects are finished? I'm sure you are going to need a break from the shop when these cammers are completed. Any takers? Darren

A cross country cobra trip is long overdue. I'm thinking California to Washington. Maybe another tread on the subject should be started.
I talked With Wayne at KC today. We are thinking about a Hilbourn FI setup with FAST. I'm running a EZ-EFI in my Roush/Shelby 451 and love it!

Considered the "first flag" of America, I think it's a great choice. "Don't tread on me" is a fitting statement with the way I've been feeling about my government.

Hope it was alright with you guys for me to post about these new neat projects. Dave I will probably have you do me a Kirkham next time with one of these new all aluminum Cammers. I will probably build something, just a 527 SOHC 800HP pump gas engine. I do not need the Paxtons, hell it will cost enough as it is and then I will have to sell it.
Still working on selling the last car we did and then I can start on a new SOHC project with you. Already have a lot of parts for both engines and trying to get more in. I feel that this will test both of us.
Thanks, Keith

Of course it is OK! These are cool cars. I think they will make some pretty cool threads.
The quote of the year...
" I will probably build something, just a 527 SOHC 800HP pump gas engine."
Only a true motor head would say "just a 527 SOHC 800HP."

I love the idea of you guys making a trip out to DC. We can come out and meet you part way and drive back together.

We are thinking about putting this trip together for a 2012 run. Just in time for the 2012 election year. This trip could be huge, requiring a lot help. Any takers?

Darren, if possible can you (or the Kirkhams) please photo document the modifications to the Kirkham that are/will be necessary to install a Cammer.
You know, just for giggles, since I have no desire to install one in my Kirkham.  |
