Foxy Green Foxbody Build

Called this morning for progress report. Enter generic response.

Blocks are being prepped. Week and a half eta
 
I ask for weekly updates with pics.They are working for you. They need to be accountable from the beginning. You can't drop off a motor and don't communicate with them for months and then expect them to have detailed info on a call out of the blue. Another thing I have always done is to drop a couple grand off with the motor to get them started with parts,and make a payment schedule,but I know the builder and already have a relationship with them.they know I'm serious.

How many engines do you suppose shafiroff shits out in a month? I don't think 4 engines a month would keep the lights on.

When the AC Cobra craze was going on, we shipped 10 completes a day. I don't remember how many shorts. We seldom had less than 75 backed up.

I'm in a little different situation than you I believe. I know the lads at both shops where my blocks are. Both are crazy busy, one I told no rush, he has my block almost ready. The other I called to keep in touch about a month after dropping the block off, he told me he has my number, lol.

The last shop had my block from July to February. Ended up buying another block because of unreturned calls or texts. This place will at least answer the phone and blow smoke up my ass.

Frankly I'm fed up with the whole fuckin industry

You're a poor cop. You have 42 pages of shit to catch up on!

I picked up the other block. So now 2 blocks are in storage rusting and the dart block will be ready end of next week.

Errrr, not..

Gonna take a while, I only read while at work.
 
First things to note, they recommend NGK7938 plugs.. which is exactly what I had before. Said all their builds recommend .030 gap.

Also suggested these cam specs when I upgrade later:

.595in/.577exh
247in/251ex @050
110lsa
