I have confirmation it's been built waiting in the queue (7th spot) waiting on dyno.
It's been a long nine months but I'm excited to finally see it built. Not a super great photo, but it's all I have for now.

Looks awesome! I was there last week and he showed me the dyno; it was not functional at the moment. Will that delay your delivery? My 427w engine is also due very soon, but my kit isn't even here yet so I am nooooooo hurry. However I DO want to get a dyno sheet with the motor.

It's delaying it now (still not fixed as of today). I'm engine #7 in the queue to dyno. After dynos the same guy boxes, etc. so not sure how fast he works through the motors.
I would guess that if they had the dyno running it would be a week or two but who knows for sure. Either way it's close.

I was there last week picking up my completed rear end. I believe my 302 is next after the one that's on the dyno, Mike told me possibly a month till I see it. He ordered the pump he needs and hopefully will be in this week. My kit doesn't arrive until December but will be nice to know it's in my garage.

Must have used that Playskool Superflo Dyno for his pulls.

You're all "toying" with me!
Glad to see some 427's starting to roll out again. I am excited for you Capt, the 427 is an awesome engine in these cars... hard to beat the sound and feel plus definitely earns some respect with the right foot!

I believe Forte has some blocks available. If you are tired of the BP wait, reach out to Mike.

I was at Forte today, got a very nice tour! Saw "the line" of motors ready for the dyno with some familiar names on them.
My car is up on Forte's lift for a clutch repair. I couldn't convince Mike to do a quick engine swap with that 427 that was so pretty :-)

Looks a bit sketchy to me.
