Gonna be a lot of work between now and November !!! Will you add pics of the build?sure will.. we will start posting teaser clips as we go along.. the color is crazy, hard to capture in a photoSome assembly required
Tom Kirkham is doing the work and custom items on the final build. We have already modded the floor pan and footwell area to give me even more room in the cockpit ( I'm 6'3). there are some suspension tweaks, air flow, and motor items that will all be done as well. The seats are being redone by Justin over at Kindig-it design and The Motor is coming from Kinetics, all aluminum 427ci with around 600 hp at the wheels...
For a number of reasons I went with the 351W based. - The BB takes up a lot of room in the cockpit and I need every inch possible. The weight savings with an all aluminum SB 427ci is another factor. The motor will have dual carbs, dry sump, stainless bundle of snakes w/trumpets, and no expense spared internals. Chris at Kinetics is one of the best engine builders in the business ( I had a Kirkham with a stroked Shelby aluminimum BB427 he built years ago and was fantastic. He also built a few full race motors for me in the past and just incredible)
I love the clear intake velocity stack on the carb. I’m looking for one for my MarkII with an original 427 FE and Holley experimental carb. Any leads for gettin one will be helpful.
you are correct.... I hear someone is going to remake a T-44, which I guess would be popular.. even with the straight cut gears. We had thought of possibly making a complete billet case, but time and cost just did not make sense for a one off. -
