I ordered a 363 from them 5 weeks ago. Hasn't shipped yet but they advertise 6-8 weeks on their site. When I called to order the normal sales rep was on vacation so I spoke with Mark O'neal (owner of chp and probe). He was a realy nice guy and shot the **** with me for about a half hour. He said they are moving the business to Tennessee in the near future. I'm going to call today and see if I can get an estimated ship date from them because I'm getting ancy. Will update on customer experience when I have more info.

I've put 3 of their 347's togather, and they all worked great. I've also got a 427w kit and a 410ci Mopar kit from them, all nice quality stuff! I usually talk to Eric Cady. He has always helped me with any question/issues that I've had.

good to hear. I want to order something fairly quickly as I only have the summer to do stuff because of college.

so you think I will have time to get it?

Called them yesterday and they said it was in the "build process" and would take another week and a half to two weeks so that would put them close to the 8 week mark to deliver a long block. I'll post again with the actual ship date. I don't know what their "build process" is but it seems like they should be able to build it in a couple days once they get started on it. Anyway I have had the new transmission and clutch sitting at the shop for about two months now and about another 2500 worth of **** in my shed so I'm ready to get this thing going. The guy at the shop is probably getting sick of storing my ****.

I callled and talked to a guy named Eric and he assured me when I ordered that it would take four weeks to get to my door.

it is only a short block, maybe that makes a difference? lol

But I plan on ordering in the next couple weeks.

unless I hear something really negative towards them I will most likely use CHP.

CHP is great stuff, I didn"t deal with them directly though, I got mine from Jim at ford strokers, and would recommend him to anyone!

That's what I like to hear!

ok let me see what you guys think about this.

The guy at CHP was talking heads with me for a little bit. I told him I was looking at the CNC 205cc trick flow tw heads. I told him I was looking for around 500 at the flywheel.

He recommended AFR 205cc heads that they were a much better head.

I know on here most everyone loves the trick flows.

what do you guys think about this?

I don't know if a 205 head is appropriate for a 347 or not. I price a build from the local builder and he was trying to talk me into the 185 for a 363 build. I think the size of the combustion chamber matters so if it is a big bore 347 it may be more important to go with a 205 but if it is a stock block bore 347 maybe you should go with the 185. I think you give up low end torque for high rpm hp with the bigger head. The local guy was telling me that the 185 was a better head for the street. As far at TFS vs AFR I really don't know which one is better.
