That is impressive Irish....I have to say I have not had any bad engine work but this engine has not been out of the pantera for 8+ years. So hoping in next two weeks to get it in and let them know the deadline. Hearing from them 3 months max R &R even if they have to order custom pistons. Machine shop across the street. they are all racers.

Last one I did was a custom stroker 342 CID supercharged Ford :-) The block work took 2-3 days, the heads (port/polish on flow bench) about 2 weeks, the crank was brand new as were the rods, bearings, etc. The pistons were very custom in order to handle long rods and the stroker bit :-) from parts into shop to running motor was less than a month...
Of course I paid a premium to get it through quickly but it was worth it to me :-)

 8-9+ months to do a block is beyond reasonable, and the last time I got custom pistons (and rods) they were a several week thing. Something is not right with that shop IMHO.

   How many years ago was that slick? 😂 
  Good shops always are backlogged and JB needed custom Pistons too

  In June? And still not done? Hell I never had more than 2 weeks on any block I ever had done and that was even with stroker clearance notches, sleeves, etc. I think your shop needs a fire lit under their fundament :-)

   I'll be there, I think. I dropped my block off at the shop in early June and it's still not done. I hope the shop didn't flood last night! 😳. Too dang wet out here on  the wrong coast  JB

  Now all we need is for JB & Peter to run their Panteras and we will have a Pantera Team.

     Hey Team - the new POCA president (Gerry) is planning to bring his  Pantera to SS in September and is bringing the only guy who  ever finished an ORR with a turbo charged Cleveland in a Pantera (Dave Doddek)...if  you are POCA member Gerry wrote a nice Presidents Message for  February mentioning his interest in SS and plan to go this year....since then I have been encouraging him to join us and he is  pumped up for the challenge. Yea told him he needs a TPR tat too but  said nothing about Green Lantern LOL
