the new owner of Craft Performance is Lance Smith. Great guy.
I've bought parts for my center oiler 427 from him. He is doing all the machine work on my block, including drilling
oil gallery so I can run a hyd roller cam/ lifters.
I talked to him today about parts we are waiting on. Cam, intake, rods and other parts because there is a shorting in the U.S. of American made parts. Edelbrock is moving most, if not all of their facilities out of California. Big delay. Most casting factories have huge delays because of Covid 19. One piston manufacturer said he had a department of 50 people machining pistons. 40 are out because of Covid 19.
Lots of motor parts are on backorder, even brake rotors.
Crazy year that started last year.
I pick a bad year to build a 427. I started last April and I may get lucky if I can install the motor late this summer / fall.
On the good side. I took the Fairlane for a cruise today. The old 390 just chugs along.
See ya in Ohio in June.
