In answer to the "will there be changes" question. probably. It's unlikely that the first set will be perfect. I'm sure John will run a set and check everything over several times before he releases them for production. That's how he is. I would not be surprised to see him send a set to someone else who will also test them (like Ted or Lonny) before the rest of us get a chance to break them.w00t John's pretty careful about his parts working. Maybe even a bit of a perfectionist, nothing is just "good enough," it has to be as right as he can make it. Ted's got much the same work ethic which may explain why Y's have been developed as much as they have been in recent years. There were a multitude of issues with the first parts run from the SpeedSmith tooling, and those all had to be addressed. Rocker bosses placed the rocker shafts in the wrong place, the water jacket broke through the casting, Bosses were wrong, ports didn't work as advertised........blah, blah. All of this has to be fixed and verified before production.

Pegleg,



Is John using the SpeedSmith Tooling or did you just throw that in as a side comment.

Wish I could say I could buy a set, but George W. and our governments economic fix are starting to show...

He used parts of it, not much left at this point, except part of the outside shape.

Put me down for a set. With building the new motor, might as well get it done up right.

You can put me down for a set, but I spoke to John maybe a month ago, so make sure he doesn't count me twice.

This list is separate of the one that John has made from the phone queries.  This particular list allows John to take a different accounting or view of the demand.

Rich Hudson also called me and asked that He and Bill Duncan be added to the list for a pair of heads to be shared by the both of them.  So here’s another “We’ll take a pair” to add to the list.

Put me down for a pair as well.  I have told John, I am ready when he feels they are ready. 

I can appreciate all the effort, time, money, and thought that has went into this venture.  I wish everyone involved good luck and I anxiously await the results.
