NEW BLOCKS BY DART
Yeah, I did do some upgrades like roller cam bearings, but you can do regular bearings, I would still bush the lifters bores, though Kent did move the galley up, it's not off to the side like Ma mopar but still so that's the only thing extra I would do, but other wise yes it's a great block. I can't wait to push the numbers I'm looking at. Only special part is the rear main seal but you get one from Kent with the block and if you don't simply call it email him and he will send you out one, not sure if I just missed it or missed placed it when I got the block, but he sent me out a new one. They are set up for W heads so if not using them the upper bolt holes might get in the way for use with la and magnum heads but think the r blocks were the same. Oh and most have been drilling 1/2" holes in the enclosed cam tunnel but that isn't anything to big of a deal to help with drain back. And you need two small npt plugs at the front China wall, forget the size, the two right next to my brass fitting to feed the mains first.
