yes the dart block is good. but i would dump your tall deck in it before i would buy the dart block and keep the rpms down on the small block and use better that stock stuff good set of i beams some srp pistons and a good valve train and have fun to line bore and do the caps should be$200to250
IF YOU ARE BUILDING THIS ENGINE FOR STREET USE AND IT WILL HARDLY EVER SEE THE DRAG STRIP THERE IS REALLY NO NEED FOR SPLAYED CAPS.Quote:

Pat I have thought about that many times and I want to but I dont know If I can aford to do it the way I want. When I do it I want to go all out. I am going to sit down and figure out how much it would cost for the both of them. And Erik just because it will be street driven dont meen I wont drive it like I am on the strip. If I build something and put the money into it I want it to handle most conditions
See there joe, we have strung this thread to 6 pages. :)
i did not help :CRY: :CRY: :CRY: :CRY: :CRY:
What did I do now Pat? Am I wrong that the big block would cost more.:confused: Dont get mad get Glad.:D
WHY SPEND MONEY ON A SPLAYED CAP ENGINE FOR STREET USE?OUR SHORT TRACK 383 TURNS 7,200 LAP AFTER LAP AND GUESS WHAT STOCK 4-BOLT CAPS WITH AN ARP STUD KIT.OUR CIRCLE TRACK ENGINES WILL SEE MORE ABUSE IN ONE NIGHT THAN A STREET/ STRIP CAR WILL IN A HALF A SEASON.THE WORD IS CYCLES.A STREET/ STRIP CAR WON'T HAVE NEARLY THE AMOUNT OF CYCLES ON IT AS A CIRCLE TRACK ENGINE.Quote:
