This is out of everybody's hand except the porter himself. I don't know if you do your own porting or send your heads off but in my case all were sent off and I am at their mercy. I did get a follow up call from Renegade (who btw has been nothing short of outstanding) saying they should be back by mid week (this was on Friday). I am also having an issue with getting the proper forged connecting rods as well which is a machine shop issue. All in all everything should come together this week as I stated earlier. Might be the end of the week but non the less it is getting ready to wrap up. I don't think you realize how big of a job this is turning out to be? I chose to keep asking for more, more, more and they are accommodating however this adds to the build time. Initially a blower install and cam job with pullies is no big deal. When you add porting heads, tb, and snout, then forging entire bottom end and balancing this is a rather serious build and common sense tells us it is going to take longer than a simple bolt on/ cam swap. You do serious builds so you should know this better than anyone. I'm simply waiting for it to come together but thankfully have two other new badass cars I can drive while mine is being built. Trust me I will post an update (good or ugly) when I get one. I have nothing to gain by doing either.
