    Pistons are FINALLY in!! Shorty should be done in the next couple weeks....

    Heads are on order too....BUT another 5 weeks to complete!!! No "off the shelf parts" for this damn thing....

    And for an added time line bonus, the intake is going to take 8-10 more AFTER heads are available....

    Lol, didn't think May was going to be an issue to get this thing rollin' but daaaaaamn!
    Wow... that is quite the lead time on parts!

    Did you ever get a chance to call Bill about the engine bay work?

      Custom crap takes a little extra time not to mention this is kind of an "off-season" for gear heads to put a little extra strain on some of these suppliers. Marcella is currently building 7 intakes for Shawn at a week and a half clip per intake! Just going to get in line....

      Have been crazy busy at work to even think about the body shop...heading up to Tawas tomorrow to visit our plant and will have time on the road to do so then. The only reason I spoke to VSpeed today was because I was in between other calls....and they're in my contact list and wasn't going to pass up on ANY kind of update!

              Plan on attending the PowerTour so it HAS to be ready before June! Heard you'll be heading down to our neck of the woods for the PT....we should find a way to get together.

                  Hey Jeff....

                  Yes, Cary is doing the heads. C5R style head. Dont think they make an intake for these other than a carb style or sheetmetal.

                      no worries, i don't mind at all....helps me with the anticipation too! if everything goes as planned, we're thinking a early march install!

                      now that i know its going to be MONTHS before i see or hear anything power wise, i can start focusing on misc pieces and the purty stuff....and attempt to do it without spending anymore damn money!!!

                      after today's discussion, i have to "re-prioritize" purchases i planned on this winter for after the motor is done. lol, think the rear wheels will look funny on a stock rear intended for a 1" narrow? i need a sponsor

                        Lying across a salad shooter....lol.
