  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Was Talking to Tim while ordering parts a few weeks back and asked the same question. As of that time they didnt have the blanks in but were expecting to have the orders complete by late spring / early summer. He said they sold 23 of the 25 allotted units for the sale. Thats pretty good for us and them.

    I contacted TA yesterday via email, very prompt response and Sherri said That The foundry is still working on the blocks and will be done in March. After that, they go to the machining process which takes about six weeks.

    So this works for me I am still looking at July. I have ordered my internals and awaiting the Bob weight to order the crankshaft.

    My next chunk will be the heads. Hopefully, the 54mm cores will be available by Christmas

    Call me the noob, but is this the aluminum block I've been reading about? I'd love to build one for my riv, but the wife insists we buy stupid things like food, and shoes and stuff for the kid.
