New Build Kirkham KMP709

[damage]

Guys I don't have the full spec sheets on the engine handy at the moment so can't give you too much, engine was built by Keith Craft block is a Pond as are the heads injection is Hilborne 8 stack with a Fast EFI the injection stacks are billet aluminium produced by Kirkham rocker covers are billet and front pulleys are all billet also by Kirkham. Internals are all forged scat and pistons are diamond. It made 725hp at 7200 (from memory) on KC dyno on the sheets that he supplied. I'll try put up more on that later.

In the mean time the one who must be obeyed allowed some more play time today so I went to work and did some tidying up and moved the motor into my workshop ready to shoe horn in.

This is my girl in her corner at work with the engine waiting to be slotted in.

I finished up under the dash tidying all the wiring up and make sure everything worked for the final time prior to hanging everything where it should be. It's just lucky that I did because I found a bunch of stuff wrong so a little job turned into a big one. Biggest lesson I learnt out of this whole experience is that if you have the capabilities to do a job just do it yourself, paying people for bad workmanship really leaves me off.


Then I went about getting the engine bay in order removing anything that could be an obstacle for getting the Engine in, don't want any issue while it's on the crane so removed all the plumbing from the radiator and pushed all the wiring harnesses away so that no wires get damaged. Wow didn't realise the amount of monitoring circuits on a nowadays last time I did anything like this was 25 years ago. The main engine loom for this thing with efi is huge.
