LOL! I also talked to Frank recently so I know what I paid for mine years ago vs the price you posted in this thread. I bet my price was still lower vs your price after buying 3 of them.

I have collected a lot of the pieces for the Engine:

Turbo Manifolds, T-88 Turbochargers, Intake (EFI) Manifold, Carillo Rods, CP Pistons, Short Deck 9.5 Block,
Edelbrock Heads from Dave B (same flow as Chief's Heads), Palbykin Back-up camshaft for his Turbo Pontiac
engine, 3.5" stroke Kellogg/Moldex Crankshaft, Garlock Heliflex gas sealing rings (not using head gaskets),
Meziere electric Water Pumps, Spearco Custom Water to Air Inter-coolers, Aviad 5 stage Dry Sump
(gear pressure system and 4 stages of 2 lobe rotor scavenge stages) (link attached but unfortunately the
website is under construction.) https://www.aviaid.com/

So I have a few parts to build a 3.5 stroke, 9.5 deck height engine.
So what parts do you ACTUALLY have Scott?

And if I don't, I don't really care one way or the other.
I do stuff for myself, not to impress others.

2 million ECOBOOST vehicles on the road, with my stuff on them, and winning Le Mans for the Ford Family with that engine is a lot more rewarding vs running 300 mph at Bonneville, but I have done the first. If the second does not happen, no big deal.

I remember when you came to Norwalk with your Funny Car, agreed to race GTOGEORGE, and he beat you thru the quarter mile with his 8.40 car at the time. How embarrassing for you that day must have been.

Hey Shirley.....that’s not what happened, his car qualified for the KRE Q16 (non-door side), we raced in eliminations first round where I won. It wasn’t a fair race a funny car against a top sportsman type car in a bracket race I should have won and I did...... no embarrassment! Actually my car was running 8.30’s that weekend running only 9 lbs of boost.
Seriously.....we’re you even there? Probably not!! LOL!!

Let’s try something different for a change.

How about we stop this nonsense.

Disrespectful posts and commentary are getting pretty old.

Back on the 9.5" deck height blocks, I hope you get the 9.5" blocks from Frank.
Whether I build my engine and race it is MY Business. I think the mods would agree with this. A comment about my plans before my death does not surprise me and neither does the pile-on by George. I was there, at Norwalk I saw what I saw.

Now if you wish to continue a discussion about 9.5" deck height IA-2 blocks (Where I am probably the only one who has seriously collected parts for one for several years), I will be happy to answer questions here.

Ask away. Most of my info on MY Engine, not a bare block was in post #21.
