I stopped by the machine shop unannounced this morning as it was one week after they said it would be done. They had made little progress. It was disassembled and had been hot tanked. That was it. I told them to load it up in my truck, but after some conversation I agreed to take the heads and they would just do the shortblock.
I'm frustrated but in for a dime in for a dollar I guess.
I took the heads to Texas-Speed. Way overkill for this project, but they do a good job. Hopefully the heads and shortblock will be finished at about the same time.
I'm going to have to see what I can do in the tune to keep the power low as this should be making close to 400 HP with ported heads and cam. Too much for a learner, IMO. Maybe I can set the rev limit low at first, but I wonder if that will screw up the shifting in the trans.
