Ship away. 
Please carefully read the info posted at the top of this thread as to how and where to ship the UIM. Include your contact info on the UIM (there's a good location mentioned in this thread) and EH will contact you for billing.
I want in on this, but 10 day window (since we just confirmed the dates on the 8th or 9th) is just a couple days too short. I have to pick up a UIM so I can keep my car on the road. Any chance we can extend this GB a couple of days so I can ship my UIM later this week??

I talked with Rick and he said stragglers are welcome.  So, if you can't make the 18th, he said he'll accept UIMs for this group buy through the 1st week of July.  If I haven't answered all your questions, Rick said feel free to email him. He's good about answering emails, it just takes a day or two, so be patient. rick.miller@extrudehone.com

Hmmm...anybody still have a cheap SE UIM...buy or even just to borrow (I would send my SVT UIM to E.Hone and could return the non SVT to the lender)? Such a good deal to pass up..

WOW!! All I needed was a couple of extra days, now I can really clean the thing up right before I send it.
By the way, thanks a MILLION for being the go-between for this GB. Thus far everything seems to have been handled quite well & you are most responsive to, & considerate of, your fellow CEGers.
Props.

If I find an extra, I'll nab it & send it up there with your name & number on it - with your prior confirmation, of course.

Dan Check EBAY as well at car-part.com. I got mine for $50 shipped. I'll be selling off my SVT UIM to recoup my cost of the EH Group Buy.

Thanks guys & thanks Derek!
BTW, are most of you SVT guys planning to Extrude Hone the SE manifold? You do know the throttle body opening is smaller and the casting may be different with the non SVT part? I assume you could hand port the opening though...
I guess I am still a bit skeptical of exactly how the (smaller diameter) non SVT part will "catch up" to the SVT UIM in terms runner diameter with the same Hone treatment.. But, it would be nice to be able to sell the stock SVT part. Tough call..

Dan,
After seeing the SE UIM and SVT UIM side-by-side, there was no question (in my mind) that sending the SVT one was the way to go.
The TB opening is much smaller and the smaller ports are considerably smaller. Anyone without the ability or mechanical inclination would have a tough time port matching.
The design of the SE vs SVT is slightly different, too. So I don't know how (if at all) it would affect peformance.

Indeed, I didn't even think about trying to get an SE to hone so I could sell my SVT UIM. Just sounds to good to be true so I'l stick with my SVT parts.
