Sounds to me you are worried the new Coyote motor will undercut the want for your "cammer race motor"........Honestly,you built your car the way you wanted, why put down someone else for wanting to do so,but with their money. My ERA 289FIA has a mildly modified 4.6L 32V FI motor, it is not for everyone, but suits me just fine. Have thought about upgrading to the Coyote motor,but decided in the long run it's not in the card for the car at this time.

PS: My car is also for sale, wonder who's will sell first, yours with the not so street friendly cammer "race" motor, or mine with the street friendly, yet quite powerful 4.6L 32V mod motor

If is was I was worried, I would pull out the cammer, put in a $6000 coyote and sell the cammer for $10,000 , I love smart ass remarks from the people who dont read threads, I love the coyote, just not in a Kirkham. Remember I was the first to have a superformance with a Mod motor, Its awesome, coyote, cammer, or 4.6 dohc, either way, not in a kirkham.

I heard the same thing about butting a Mod motor in an ERA, but look, it's there,and built way before you thought of putting your cammer in an SPF.
Others have thought it, but I'll post it:
Me thinks you protest too much
