That sounds like the Comp Cams xr294. It's a good sounding cam.

The short block is complete-Ford Racing is assembling the top end and will run on the dyno, should have the new engine in the car in a couple of weeks.

I did find out from Holbrook Racing (who does FR work) that the block could have been repaired but FR wanted a new block made. This added a few weeks to the process but overall I am pleased with the support I have received from Ford Racing. I know some people have had issues with them and were vocal about it so I felt it is fair to let folks know of my positive experience thus far...they never questioned a thing about my claim and never attempted to skirt responsibility for liability. They allowed me to make changes on the new motor and offered technical/engineering support in order to help me build a set up that would work for my application.

No, I have not fired it up yet nor have I received the engine but I just received the latest update from Marty at FR and thought I would would share what has been a positive experience with everyone.

Enjoy the weekend, and enjoy your ride if you can-I have grown to appreciate my car A LOT more since I have not been able to drive it!!!!
