CSX Game Plan...Real or Not?

I have been trying to crack the *manual* project , but man it is daunting.

answer to your question; yes you could. - will you get frustrated -probably.

The three volume set of shop manuals for my GM car cost me around $100, as I recall. IF I owned a CSX car, I would happily send twice that much to someone who would aggregate the contributions and hold them as an incentive to pay the author of the manual. Quality work deserves quality pay. I would think a lot of CSX owners would be like minded. BTW, the three volume GM set has NO photos whatsoever, only drawings. My personal opinion is that that basically sux.

This CSX owner would certainly be willing to do that.

Does anyone know if SPF and Kirkham charge extra for an installation kit (or something similar)? All of a sudden, a $51k roller (+/-), now becomes a $63k roller.

Also, are there manuals available for the SPF and Kirkham?

Thanks again,

Bob

Kirkhams are supplied as complete rollers with almost everything you need. The extra parts that came with my Kirkham were the oil cooler setup (optional) and the sidepipes and headers, but that's it. Otherwise the rest of the stuff is engine and tranny related. Oil puke tanks, turkey pans, coolant recovery, etc. are purchased from wherever you like.

You might check out the manuel on the Kirkham website. Lots if good info and pics. It all relates to a CSX build as Kirkham supplies rollers to Shelby.
If you're in NorCal be sure to talk to Tom at FE Specialties about your engine build, then pick his brain about the rest of the install.

Enjoy

Good idea Patrick. I'm in too....
