thanks for your help man, it is some disheartening new, but hey its the truth. I appreciate it. I will get the casting number tonite just to be sure, but I wont be expecting a change. ill have to go in and talk to the machine shop and ask them whats up with the inaccuracy. I guess this gives me an excuse to buy some edelbrock aluminums or vortecs
