Morgan,
I think you must be referring to my shortblock. It's actually closer to 8 months but I think it is finally done. I believe there was a run of defective iron blocks that Genesis recalled last year. Pitting showed up in the cylinders when they were given an overbore probably from casting defects. Sounded like it affected only a few blocks. I feel really sorry for Doug who had to eat all that labor and waste a bunch of his time. He even went so far as to drive all the way to Genesis to pick up new blocks. The aluminum blocks were OK so Doug set me up with one of those. Too bad stuff like this has to happen to such a nice guy. Hopefully I can get my Mustang back together again very soon after being off the road for so long and run it at the track.
