For those following the story...
Looks like the Long Block will be approved in the next day or two. When this happens, I will credit the ESP company for doing the right thing.
So, I don't believe I'll do the 117 kit at this time. The long block does come with virtually everything internal, including the heads, rockers, pushrods, lifters. From what I'm told, it does not come with the cam plate, cam or oil pump.
Should like the SE cam plate and pump will be my choice. S&S Premium non-limited lifers and pushrods will by on my nickel as they already include the SE parts for that. Cam will be a credit that I can use for any cam, so that is still the big question. Best cam for basically (except stage 1) stock motor, riden two up most of the time, BUT could work really well with the 117 kit at a later date. I wonder if there is a cam that would cover both scenarios. Originally I was planning on the Tman 620PS, but now without the 117 kit, I'm not sure that works. SE585 or something similar may best. I understand the SE cam that comes with the 117 kit needs more compression to really work well, so that probably isn't the cam I'm looking for.
Well if all goes well, I may have my bike back in 3 weeks!
