When the lead time is as insanely long as it is for these things you'd like to think it's first deposit/first block.

I'm curious, do TAD and TAFC guys use this style block? Pro Mod?

Im just wondering if there are long time repeat customers for these blocks that just can't/won't wait that long to get one, and that's where the bulk of the blocks go, and the bracket guys get their orders filled as time and "spare" blocks permit.


The guy who got his in January waited 18 months (25 months before now). I've been 21 months so he ordered before I did. The guy waiting 30 months has every right to be insanely pissed off especially since he's been paid in full for 8 months (I've been paid in full for 5 months). From my conversation with Ken it'll be at least six weeks if everything goes right before I get my block. I take that with a grain of salt because I was told three weeks last March. To be honest at this point I'm just praying I get a block. Assuming he's telling the truth and my block just needs sleeves I've considered having him ship me the block as is and get the sleeves sourced locally. I know i'd be paying twice but at this point I just want my fricking block.

I'm kind of double screwed because I'm also on hold for ordering a wedge block I need. I don't want to buy one if the KB deal folds because then I'll have to buy a hemi block to replace the one I didn't get. No not knowing if or when I'm getting a block is actually putting two builds on hold. If KB had gotten me a block within 12 months I would have followed up with a wedge order. As it stands now I'm planning on ordering an Indy block from Pete after I get the KB order finalized one way or another.
