Not really. Having one of those years that really test your love of the sport. I've had the transmission out of my black duster three times by myself working on the floor and I'm beat up. I think I found the issue and hope to have it back in the car tomorrow. Meanwhile I should be testing the small tire car but that's not in the plans till I get this issue addressed. Getting old sucks but it sure beats not getting old.

I hear you on working on the floor. I'm glad I have a 15 year old who is the muscle now. I just don't have the pose I once did.

You are correct by the time you pay the GST and the the shipping. It would be over $10,000 for a bare block. Never factored that in on my original post. Darn expensive no matter how you look at it.

With just the exchange it would be north of $10,000. Buying through Tim, yes no duties but you can add shipping costs and for me that would be $300-$350 +GST. So........ as Wookie said "Darn expensive no matter how you look at it". If someone wanted to buy my iron block and pay for the machining, then yes I would cough up the rest to buy an aluminum one.

Anybody that was owed a block (payed for) receive one yet?
Still have not heard one person say "I finally got my block" That's the $64000 question...

I have no dog in this hunt but shouldn't all the "backorders" be filled BEFORE any new customers receive new blocks??? Just seems like the best practice to me.

Could be though that they got into a big enough financial hole that they need to retail some blocks to fresh customers so as to make enough profit to be able to take the hit sending out already paid for stuff. Not a great scenario, but maybe a reality the new owners have to deal with.

I agree, but businesses are bought and sold every day. They knew going in it was an issue. If you do not care about the businesses reputation then I suppose ignoring it is fine. But buying a business generally means you assume the outstanding payables as well as the receivables. Not like this was an unknown to the purchasing party.
