Drag race - Kirkham 65 side-oiler vs Ferrari 458 italia

Many thanks to Otomyx and N2Venom for the intel, and apologies to the Mods for not understanding the edit to the post. It's truly amazing what a community this is -- so tight nit that you know individual cars!

Ok all, with it disclosed as a 482 s/o (I'm sure there was no engine change), does that change anyone's views?

Also Dan's car will be in tip-top shape. It had a bunch of stuff wrong -- shocking, given the incredible care he has shown it -- and it's all fixed up.

If he gets a couple of practice runs in - you are toast.

Save yourself the hassle and the money, pay the exit fee, save your paint, and send your old buds here at club cobra a fact finding fee.

Toast.

Not mine. Once I heard the name Keith Craft, then I assumed that the engine was a 482. If it were a 496 or even 527, then the equation changes to a certain extent. The dual quads, if not setup properly, could be BIG positive in your favor.

I think the heads are probably the "typical" Stage 2 ported Edelbrocks, but if they were Stage 3 heads, then Dan could have a BIG positive, depending if it were properly matched cam.
