Quote: ...requested a KB block order form, filed it out and sent it in and on Dec 3 Ken Black called me and we discussed my order and he took the 1st payment (which is half of the cost of the block, including shipping).
He told me they were running about 12 week from ordering to shipping, which was fine with me since I didn't need it to start out the season.
On Friday, 2/21, I received a call from Ken to tell me that the block has been received from the foundry and was ready for machining and was ready for the 2nd half of the payment.
He said that it should be done and ready to ship in about 3 weeks...
That looks like 11 weeks to get the casting from the foundary after you ordered. Plus 3 more weeks for machining, total 14 weeks.
I ordered mine on Jan 17, 2014. I will keep you posted on the progress.
