Machine shops are always a hold up. I generally tell people to expect at least 6 months, even if quoted 6 weeks. Short block machine work is what kept our fast car off the road for the entirety of 2018. We broke my 1 rule of engine builds: never build the engine that is in the car unless you are ok with not driving that car for a year. Justin really wanted to use his original block and crank though... but that came with the sacrifice of not having his Z for the entire year when he could have been driving it.

Anyways, definitely dont let it stress you out! Think of it of as a season or two less wear and tear on the rest of the car.
