I've got a bunch of FE kids that just want to live with Mom and Dad and don't want to leave home. 

I can't get squat out the door between parts being backordered and people that won't pay their bills.

I have been playing with an IDI, an MEL, and about to start in on a 300 I6, but no FE projects in the near term. I will also 2nd Mr. Lykins comment about the difficulty in getting all the parts to finish a project.  Took me 9 months to get this 7.3 IDIT back together, way to much time spent waiting for part X to arrive.

I have a 462 in the works, a blown, injected 347 small block slightly ahead of it, and mild 428 behind the two.

Waiting on parts, money and machining.  All of which are a premium right now :)

Like Brent, I have a bunch of builds sitting here waiting on parts.
Nothing gets finished.
Nothing leaves.

Twelve weeks on a set of pistons.
Eight weeks on a camshaft.
Literally a year on an intake.
No idea when we will see cast 4.25 cranks - they shipped about 1/2 what we needed and then ran out.  Again.

I think I have run four engines on dyno in two months. 
We used to average between four and six per month.

We are concentrating on cylinder heads the days - I am getting three or four pair shipped per week.
