Default Whatever happened to the Kirkham FE 427?

Did the Kirkham aluminium 427 FE engine ever progress from the wooden pattern which used to be shown on the Kirkham website? If so, is it available and how does it compare with a Shelby or Pond aluminium block?

I think that is kind of on hold, like their Daytona Coupe project.

On hold right now with Daytonas, Haiti Houses, Greek Cars, Tea Parties, and other things taking up our time. I wish there were more time in the day! Too many cool things to make.

We make all sorts of things. Wheelchairs and Haiti houses are occupying my time right now.

I'm picturing a guy at the DMV trying to get his billet aluminum, supercharged Briggs&Stratton powered wheelchair titled under smog-exemption right now.
