So when will we see the rest of the motor completed?

Do all Va speed motors see the same work?

By the way is it possible to purchase or even send a block to get machined to desired specs?

Mine certainly did.

Except for the filling.

To my knowledge, he won't sell just a machined block...

All of Va Speed's short and long blocks get the same level of work with respect to the blueprinting, boring and honing. that article had alot of "upgrades" which are extra:

- lifter bushings
- block fill
- o-rings
- 1/2" head studs

My Va Speed block has all the bells and whistles except for the lifter bores...we still run OEM diameter lifters.
