When I ordered mine it took about 3 weeks due to them being out of castings at the time.... Everything looks extremely nice in the heads... I ordered mine through Hawkins third gen they were cheaper actually through them than directly though Texas speed and performance. I'll be picking the short block up tomorrow from the machine shop and should have it running by the weekend will keep you posted...

Was stabbing it by myself so I just installed it without the heads to make it a little easier .. I'm not too worried about it... Heads go on pretty fast anyways
