Man do I wish mine was coming along as quickly as yours. It's been quite a long time since I've seen mine.
The lightly used Proline ls2 stroker that I purchased decided that it didn't like a bearing that was in it and chewed on it a little bit. So, it's been at the machine shop for a couple of weeks now. The good news is we went up in piston size from a 4.005 to a 4.030.
I'm more than ready to drive it again. I feel your pain. I also can't wait to post up about it as soon as I get it back.
