    Looking for a timeline on stage 2 se’s. The GS is dead until I get my order.
    Please hit me with some good news! Only thing I am waiting on, the rest of the TA catalog for the 455 has already arrived . New tranny en route, ta headers back from jet hot, custom quadrajet power carb shipped…. Just need the TA Stage 2 SE…. Can’t use my old irons. Thanks

    We are currently through first operation on TA Stage 2SE castings. We are just about finished with 1st op on Stage1SE as well. We should be setting up 2nd op on the Stage2SE in a week or so. Making up some ground. Thank you all for your patience.
    We appreciate your business very much.

    If you want a killer set - one of one Lemons headers for stg2 then let me know.

    We are currently machining through 2nd op on the Stage 2 castings. Heads are machining well. We also have a cylinder head machinist, doing valve jobs again. It has been me, this is helping out.

    Do you have any 350 heads available or in the building process?

    I do not have any 350 Stage1SE castings in stock at this time. Some of the tooling is here a TAPERF. I need to take it back to the foundry in CA. I haven't been able to get away. I hate to UPS tooling. I have no masters of this intake core box that I can remember. So, I personaly need to deliver it.

    Mike, What's a ballpark lead time @ this point? Is 2 years reasonable? I'm not in any hurry but did put a deposit on a set & only reason I care is money is tight & I'd like to space out the layaway payments (I should've already made some more payments but...).

    I hope you set up @ the Nationals next year (I also realize what an undertaking that is!). Vendor area was great this year (better than ever IMHO). I'd take a 350 oil pan/pickup & SP intake.

    I’m sure one of the forum members will volunteer to drive them out to Ca for you. I’m in the northeast so that would be quite a trip for me.

    Hello Mike, 2nd operation of ?? operations in total? When do you expect completely machined heads (w/o valves,...) to be available?
    Thanks, Ralf

    There are 3 operation. 3rd op is machining the spark plug holes. We might have some STG 2SE castings available in a couple weeks.
