I heard the "my block will be ready for delivery from the foundry in a few days" for 16 months. Last March it was "your block is being machined, it'll be a couple weeks to get the sleeves and finish it up, please send the balance" I have not had a phone call or email answered since. I've called and emailed almost every day this month. To say I'm pissed is an understatement. I'm at 20 months from ordering and really starting to wonder.
