Thanks. I placed my order for this almost 3 months to the day that I will get it, so yeah, can't wait to fire it up.

The block is a production 5.0 roller, .030 over that will be run N/A.......for now.

I would be happy with that!!
Car is scheduled to be tuned late May/early June, so hopefully it will meet or exceed your prediction.

Pleasure likewise! Nice of you to come in here and check us out here in the 'Burgh. Old Dominion called me as I was typing this post to confirm delivery tomorrow

If anyone on this board is looking for a SBF builder, call Jim Woods at FordStrokers. Good guy, great work.

Here is a progress photo from tonight, intake is just sitting on the top. Had an issue with the intake gaskets at the coolant ports. Got the Felpro 1262, need the 1262R, so will have to order. Also had an issue with the ARP timing/water pump bolt kit. Because of the 94/95 short front cover, 75% of the bolts in the kit were too long. Summit said these would work, but I need to find the correct ones.
