Just an FYI the SHP looks just like the sportsman except in the lifter valley. The SHP also has 1/2" bolts in all the center locations on the mains & 7/16" in the outer on 2,3 & 4. Where as the sportsman has 7/16 in the center and 3/8" in the outer......  The SHP cylinder walls are the same thickness according to the sonic check that was done on my block. The SHP will hold 1000hp if the tune is correct. There are already a few SHP's running a little over 800rwhp now.  Back on topic: Update?

Yea... I was putting the heads back together and found one of the exhaust valves to be bent slightly (it wouldn't take a seat with the lapping compound). I don't know when or how it got bent, but I sent a casual inquiry to Edelbrock about it to see about getting another.
Just today I got a phone call from them. A gentleman named Jeff took care of me on one of the exhaust valves so it should be here soon. I will send it off to get the thermal coating done like the others and hopefully have them assembled shortly after. I'm pleased to say that Edelbrock's customer service rivals the quality of their parts! Top notch in my book and they will get future business from me.

Oops......glad they took care of it for you.
And there customer service is a lot better than about 10 years ago. By the way Scott Armish is working there now too. Is Dart going to do the coating like on the pistons?

Yes Dale... i'll send it to Dart. I already coated all the exhaust valve faces with the gold heat-barrier coating, including the bent valve... so it will just be a pretty paper-weight.
Clyde... I don't know the timeframe. I must assemble the engine first. Already have the heads, cam, rockers, intake, TB, injectors, and FAST. Once the motor stuff is in, I can bolt up the transmission, which is sitting quietly in the corner. Then I need to square the car up so I can put some sort of cage and subframe supports in. That will let me install the rearend and TeamZ rear suspension. I want the car to go straight when the boost comes in...I've seen what a poorly setup suspension does when a big turbo kicks in and it isn't pretty.  Quote:

Ahhhh...freakin finally!
Still contemplating on what color to paint it... you can see the threaded water-jackt inserts in this pic: Here's the mains again...I do have ARP studs for these... This block has had some extra prep-work done, lastly by BB&T before I got it. You can see why these are a bit stronger than stockers: Bore is 4.040. Seeing how these Rblocks can go 4.125 or more, it's got plenty of life left!
