Kirkham build
Well the build up journey is almost realized and finished.
I bought KMP 267 body and chassis on E-Bay on 9/11/03. The Kirkhams finished the car to a complete roller with the side pipe holes precut. They also bleed the brakes before the car was shipped by Richard Lacy. Rich delivered the car within 1 hour of his estimated ETA, extremely professional and personable service. I tell ya', you just can't imagine how awesome these cars are until you see it in person rolling out of the transporter!!
My engine was delivered on January 14 and I transported my car to Jay Peppler who installs the drivetrains in the DFW area csx cars. It is a Aluminum block shelby engine stroked to 484 cubic inches with a holley performance carb with mechanical secondaries. Approx 550-575 bhp!! David Kee in San Antonio built the trany. David Kirkham convinced me to go with a wide ratio box and 3:23 rear end gears. All that is left is the header and side pipe installation and it will be ready to go!!
Photos of car and build are in member gallery side oil'r 69.
I haven't been this excited in my whole life, these cars are awesome!!
