David,
I need the complete conversion kit from internal to external hydraulic throw out bearing,

David,
I am also looking for a complete external throw out bearing set up for a Shelby Alluminum engine, including the Quicktime bellhousing. Also looking for a stock looking shifter handle for a TKO 600 and a billet driveshaft loop.

I will check into the external throw out bearing tomorrow. Do you want the bent 427 shift handle for a Tremec? The billet drive shaft safety loop isn't a problem.

My car has a noisy muffler, well, two noisy mufflers on each side. Can I get a new car?

Hey Chris! Did you finish your hard top?

When are you going to joint us for a workout in the gym?

How old is your Tremec? They changed the shift box about 6 months ago.

I will get to the throw out bearing assembly for you and Maurice tomorrow.

David,

It is a very early TKO600. Unfortunately it has been sitting in a box for several years and not in my car, I have the longest build time for any Kirkham in history, KMP377 bought new in 2004
Thanks,

Peter

Change that to a !

You have a sweet ride and live in the greatest country on earth! (No offence to my many dear friends across the world ).

No way you have the longest build time. Some guys just build as they can. No big deal. It's the dream that counts. Just keep working a little at a time. Let us know if we can help in any way!

Give us a ring tomorrow. We'll see what we can find. I haven't gotten to that area of the shop yet.

I'll look for a comp dash for you tomorrow.

I'll post what FIA gauges we have here shortly.

I wonder if any of the other roller manufacturers (ERA, SPF, Backdraft, etc.) are taking notes on the popularity and success of this thread? What a great way to clear out the rafters of parts that otherwise will continue to sit. Cash is king these days.

I'm sure that when the sale is all said and done David will probably make less than what he has invested in time posting pictures, answering calls, packaging stuff up, etc.

What he will accomplish is clearing out old stuff that he just couldn't justify throwing away, while making a few $$ off of it. Kind of like the 10+ Rubbermaid containers of baby clothes that I cannot convince the wife to just donate to the Salvation Army so she want me to try eBaying them one piece at a time. There are days I would like to pay someone to just come take them all so I can tell her I sold it for $100 just to make her happy.

The one thing David has accomplished is slowing down the productivity of 100's of us at our normal jobs as he keeps feeding us these pictures, waiting for the next killer deal to come along.

I think you sold out of all of the gas caps but if you unearth anymore of them I would be interested in one of those also. I think the gas cap would make a nice candy dish for my desk once it was cleaned up and mounted to a small piece of wood.

I'll send you a separate e-mail on payment for the pedal along with my address.

Thanks,

Mike,

Just give us a ring and we'll get a pedal out for you. I'll find another gas cap for you as well.

Yes, posting these parts is time consuming, but we have gotten many calls and emails from customers thanking us for the parts they were needing but just didn't have the money to get during these economic times. Others have called and thanked us for helping them to get their ride back on track after it has languished for too long in the garage without any love.

I'll keep posting parts. Maybe we'll find exactly what you are looking for.

UPDATE FROM POST #15

PRICE REDUCED!!!

This is a foam FE engine block with heads. When we bought this, the heads were separate.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PYP-3035/

These are incredibly useful for building up a chassis to make sure everything fits without having to deal with a very heavy engine.

From the pictures below, you can see the block has been used and parts have been broken and re-glued over the past couple of years. The block still works fine for fitting, however.

Price Reduced!
Retail $450
Will sell for $175
Now $125

[David Kirkham]

UPDATE
PRICE REDUCED!!!

These are the latest modification we did to the original style rear lower control arms before we switched entirely to billet suspensions. We replaced the bearing with an adjustable rod end to more easily adjust camber and caster in the rear suspension. Rear caster is adjusted by lengthening and shortening the bushings in the rod end. We replaced the original bearing because it really didn't have enough travel and the bearing beat out over time.

Retail on these 427 Rear lower control arms is $500 each. I will let these go for $350 each.

We have 3 sets of these.
Price Reduced!!! $250 EACH

Good point.
There used to be a member here named RedBarchetta. He started a 'Pay It Forward' thread that was very successful a while ago. I think we should resurrect it. Between manufacturers selling stuff cheap and owners paying it forward, I think we can help grease some wheels for our rides.

BTW, David's 'dummy' block is a cheap way for somebody to get in to an FE!

[MotorcityCobra]

I'll call tomorrow with payment for the radiator and Tremec shifter adapter. If you want to work out shipping my zip is 48393.

Thanks,
