Keith, since you were asking for ported heads we are figuring to do yours as part of the CNC run.

The porting shop is taking data off the sample head now. We expect to deliver the partially machined castings to them sometime next week. I'm not certain exactly how fast they can finish their work but it sounds like no more than 2 weeks.

It appears that we will need to do the CNC ported heads 10 pairs at a time. This means that after we run this initial batch through there will be some lead time until the following batch.

Hi John,

           Scotty here from Australia, I placed and paid a deposit for a set of your heads, back when you asked for the first lot, I said at the time i was not in a rush, and still prepared to wait some more, as I would like to put my hand up for a set of the CNC,d heads please, as I plan to be using them with a roots blower set-up. These things just keep getting better don't they guys, WOW!

ScottY, I've put you on the list for port work.

I hope you've got good parts in that short block!

CNC porting sounds good to me John, lets see the y-blocks wake up with a real GROWL!!!

John, I know you were working on manifolds a week or two ago, are you back on heads now? (not that I want to get pushy, or anything) It seems I`m going faster this spring than last fall. A pair of those heads would REALLY wake things up.    (just dreaming)

Greg, we have done the first operation on the intakes we have. Still need to do 2nd op on about 28 more. Than back to heads.

We will be shipping some heads soon but we still don't have enough castings to cover everyone.

We are converting the core boxes for the heads so the sand cores can be made @ Edelbrock. This will save time on future orders and the other core shop was beating the boxes to death. Unbelievable how core shops and foundries treat patterns and core boxes! They seem to consider them sacrificial. 

Finally got the timing cover pattern to a new foundry on Thursday so sometime this summer we will get some castings.

While in Santa Fe Springs I finally got to see the new lathe I bought in December! Just loaded the old one on a flatbed so we finally have room for the new one.

Nice to see the timing cover will be available in the future. Have to save my pennies for one.

John (or anyone) have you ever considered modifying the timing covers for water flow as the Fase II Argentine covers are.
Here is a link to previous post I did and did get much response.

Just wondering your thoughts or if someone have done some experimentation.

Again John, let me say thanks for all that you are doing. Look forward too the timing covers!

I too am looking forward to purchasing an aluminum timing cover, apparently there is a pent up demand.
