FIFY. 
"Originality" of a replica? 
Also, with all the bling under the hood? Looks like the process of "accuracy" might take a few more dollars for the next owner. |

Originality of a replica? Rod, are you telling me you would have considered putting a Chev engine in your Kirkham? 
I'm assuming that your engine selection was restricted to a choice of one....yes?
Cheers!

Yawn.
Personally, I would have put a Chevy LS engine like the Aussies do, but when a Kirkham comes up for sale in the States, they nearly always have FE’s. So, resale or money was a factor. And the FE was just a plain easy and headache free installation. And I appreciate the easy path.
What I didn’t do, is install a toploader, date coded side oiler, Shelby badges, Smith gauges, ID plate, paint, etc., or even buy a CSX, to achieve the most “accurate replica.”
