I dearly hope they sort it out. There really isn't another option of that quality. Going to something like noonans water block comes with canning almost everything else to swap to it. Indy blocks are marginal at best, and no tall deck option. C+C will make what ya want, as long as it's a solid billet, in about a year, and for about 12 grand.

I'd be a right now buyer too, if I could get one. The last one took almost 2 years......, but I did get it.
