FWF Delivery Times

[Jetmart]

Does anyone know what Van's is currently forecasting delivery time is for the FWF kit for the 390 EXP engine? I can't seem to find it on the website.

They have a general statement at the bottom of the Kit Prices and Lead Times page of 6 months for non-Thunderbolt engines and 12 months for Thunderbolt engines.

Thanks, I was asking specifically about the FWF kit not the engine.
I have since heard it is a 6 month delivery time.

I have the IO-390 RV-14 baffle kit on order for my RV-8 IO-390 since Oct 2021. I was told yesterday expect May-July delivery.

I ordered my FWF kit last October and was told there was a 6 month delay due exhaust and control cables. Called Vans 2 weeks ago to ask them to ship what they had and put the rest on backorder. The kit has arrived already including the exhaust with only the control cables missing. This is for Thunderbolt A3B6 engine.
