We may have spoke. This project has had so many ups and downs over the years.....every year we thought we would be done, just to be put off again. The guy building our head finally put it like to me. " I have to clear over 100,000 dollars a month in labor to break even. As you can see, I cant just stop what I am doing and work on just your project." He wasnt mean about it, and since he is one of the top cylinder head men in the country....We waited...and waited...and waited. Now it looks like the waiting is paying off. I finally got to put my hands on a actual machined head. Production could actually start today on the head, it is finished. We just want to run one pair on our engine first, to make sure there are no valvetrain or clearance issues. Pistons are no big deal either, the new cnc process can churn a set out in a week or two, at prices comparable to a regular forging. Which is a good thing, I could see spending another 30 grand on a piston forging!
