Nah. Just checked his youtube channel; looks like he's posted a few videos since. Maybe he's just not updating here anymore.
Progress has been slow due to waiting on Pistons from JE. They've been giving me the run around... It's been 7 months since I've placed my order and still waiting.
It's working out. Money really isn't the issue, nor is Covid because work has been busier than ever. Got some more parts for the car, such as CNC aluminum trans mounts, couldn't really find any support for the engine mounts... got a short throw shifter from OTTP, WOT box, etc. I try to post at least once a week on my YouTube channel, but I'm kinda at a stand still until I get my pistons.
I'll keep posting updates here... I tried making a jig for the equal length manifold, but it's kinda hard when your engine is still at the machine shop waiting on pistons. lol
This is about as far as I could get with it.

More to come soon once I get the pistons in. I'm more than likely going to have to cancel my order and find a new vendor. I paid 7 months ago and I'm livid I haven't received anything and that JE is doing me the way they're doing. I could have had this project finished months ago and been hitting up the drag strip, streets, and car meets.
