Dove has been lame for a while
Sbholder,
I guess I am surprised that you are surprised by the performance of Dove! They have been screwed up for a long time! I started researching FE stuff in the summer of 99 and I quickly decided to stay far away from them. Their aluminum blocks were a disaster...perosity problems up the wazoo, machining that was incomplete and/or wrong, and wait times that meant an engine build was a 12 to 19 month long project. Their heads are scarce...you see iron Ford, Shelby and Edlebrock aluminums and that is about it. I can't remember the last time I have seen a Dove head. The internet is loaded with horror stories and complaints about this company. This site and the FE Big Block forum on networks54 have dozens of "warning" threads.
I don't want to sound unsympathetic but this is a coveat emptor (let the buyer beware) territory and you have to do your research. Find a way to get your money back as you aren't likely to get satisfaction with this supplier.
Scott...
