My next Kirkham will have a 4 cyl Honda turbocharged engine. It will be much better on gas, sounds awesome when revving high, and it is cheap.

Wow no elitism here .....I just was making an example of the new technology...I also think a Kirkham should have a monster motor....too bad the original poster and others want to think out of the box....

Who/what are you refering to? I started this whole thread, and after seeing the list of mods needed to be done to the chassis to put the Coyote, I quickly said no. And frankly, I'm super happy and glad we went the all alum FE. |

Good choice, i'm sure your car is awesome, I hope my Kirkham comes out a bad ass as yours. (I wouldnt put a cammer dohc, or coyote in a Kirkham either)

I'm really liking this idea and then I'd install one of those fart can exhausts. That would sound SO cool in a Kirkham. |

I know where you live and work and I could come by and install them on your car when you're not looking!

I would not mess with MrMustang's car, I hear he has a large box of "I'm not Capt. Dave" bumper stickers...  |
