How are you guys waiting that long without making sure you can get a refund if they don't deliver within a given timeframe?

Well, I haven't been dragged around like this in quite a while. So, I didn't think this was going to happen. But here we are.

I have a dispute I'm about to open with the CC company on this. So, we will see. But obviously, paying for something and not getting it is unacceptable.

Hope it works out and you either get what you paid for or get a refund.

Dan, do you think MMS AFR LS3's are better than his MMS LS7 heads for Jake's build here ?

No! But Jake already has a LS3 FAST W/ Mid-Length Runners.
i suppose he could use the CBM LS3 Intake to LS7 Head adapers,
like Carbuff (Bryan) just detailed in the Dyno Section. I am sure there
is some measurable loss in flow/efficiency, just don't know how
much. Bryans 434" did pretty well with them, carbureted Intake though.

Have you looked into FED's new F310 with LS7 exhaust ports and raised intake runners? They are 1-2 weeks before they ship...

Looks like a solid build brother. I am waiting on mine from Billy Briggs. Also opted for Dart SHP on his recommendation. He has also known Richard at Dart for at least 20 years, so decent prices on the stuff. Mine will have an 88mm hangin on it though

Mine my have something like that down the road. Since I've reshuffled things, it will have 6-bolt heads and I'll opt for the MLX gaskets so I won't have to open it back up. And even with 11.8:1 CR... it will be fine with E85 and boost. So I may do a pair of 67mm twins eventually (or maybe an 88/100 from Forced Inductions) when I decide 700+HP isn't enough. Being able to do the CCW cranks helps a lot there too.
