I think you'll find similar answers to one of your previous threads about engine choice.

Put whatever you want in there, but when it comes time for resale, you may have issues in terms of price/value.

Its being done at RMC in Perth, WA Australia.

They have got both a 4.6L and 5.0L modular as I understand it.

I believe it requires mods to the foot boxes and lifting of the interior tunnel (Not certain on this! You best seek clarification of the detail of this info).

These cars are not yet on the road as registered vehicles yet but they are planing on this coming thru soon.

Just curious - Given the option of a modern motor why wouldn't you go LS7?
That way it would be a modern day 427 Kirkham Cobra, no nasty mods and more power...

This thought has certainly crossed my mind


Flame suit on!

I think a coyote motor is perfect for something like a FFR, but in a Kirkham? As a well known builder said to me concerning mod motors in high end replicas, "it's like kissing your sister"
I think the major problem with putting a coyote motor into a kirkham will be resale value. At some point, we all consider or must sell our cars. I dont think you would find a very good market for a kirkham with a mod motor. Just my .02
