I understand casting problems and the light, but over 2 years for a block, that's just crazy. I can call Dart and get a billet water block made in about 3 months. I realize that's not cast and is all machined, BUT look at the amount of machining involved. I also realize California has cracked down on that stuff, but there has GOT to be somebody somewhere that can cast those blocks for him in a somewhat timely manner and quality
