There have been many variations from both manufactures, so it depends on which vintage you care to examine. There was a time when the Kirkham roller was used as the starting point for the Shelby. I really don't know how the two compare today.

lloyds1, I have no idea why no one will properly respond to your question. Hopefully, someone will. In the meantime, it might help you to look over the Kirkham faq http://www.kirkhammotorsports.com/faq/index.html and to read the PDF billet book http://www.kirkhammotorsports.com/book_aoe/

That's not true. Shelby bought the body/chassis with all the closeout panels and footboxes. The rest is installed at the Shelby shops. I was there when Shelby first started buying from Kirkham

Kris knows what he's talking about. He built my CSX in Vegas and is a wealth of knowledge on the inner-workings between these two companies.
