SOHC Kirkham

[Motorhead27]

So you guys know, I'll do as much work on the car myself as possible. So fitting the engine and trans in, I'm prepared to do that myself. I come from wanting to build a FFR, that should say something about how much hands on I want. The $120,000 price was for a FFR plan, the Kirkham plan might be a little more, but not by much. I like doing a lot of stuff myself. Heck, I'd assemble a whole Kirkham myself if they let me.

Joe, you should hop a flight up to Provo and visit with the Kirkham bros. That kind of dough requires a "face to face" chat.

BTW, does anyone know what the highest price paid in the secondary (resale) market was for an FFR?

[Motorhead27]

The highest price I can think of was in the $50,000 area. You guys have no idea how much I'd love to go to Provo. But, alas, I cannot. I would definitely talk to David before ordering, in person. I'm still several years out from that though.

Thought you were closer, from the frequency of your posts.

There may be no more gasoline in several years.

[Motorhead27]

If there isn't any gasoline when I get this car, that's fine. I'll just buy some distillery equipment and make moonshine. 100% Ethanol, in a car that already makes stupid power.

I wish I was closer to pulling the trigger, but in my case, it makes sense. I'm just a young guy almost half way through his BSME. I was snake bit at a really young age. I post a lot though because I like the Cobra community and the more I'm around, the more I learn. Time frame, I'd say roughly 4-5 years before I start getting things together for the engine, but for me, that doesn't mean anything. Most of that time is spent finishing up an engineering degree.

When you finish your degree, you will have a different opinion of the project.

Well, this is the place to get learning, that's for sure. Have fun...
