Iron Eagle,, all 4 bolt mains 2 3 and 4 are splayed,, didnt see the reason not to spend an extra 400$ or so on the better block, i tell yo uwhat look at what a nice 347 costs to build then look at a new dart block price thats not a bad investment on your 6000-12000$ engine ya know,, better than insurance on em

oh yeah it also came with freeze plugs and cam bearings,, on summit they sell both one for like 2195 and the other for like 2495,, i got the 2495$ one part number 31384175 FTW!!

I have a 190 lph Walbro in the tank, and do you think I should piggy back the T-Rex off of that, or does that not make sense either? The engine is $5400 to build, and the last thing I want is for it to come apart. I'm a little late to go with a aftermarket block, since it's well on it's way to being assembled. For some reason I thought the early model block was a 4 colt main. I could be wrong though, as I have been many times in this post. I was thinking cast steel and forged steel with the cranks. Sorry about that. I was also thing about a DART block and not a SCAT. I'm acting like I'm drunk. They weren't goign to guarantee the engine with the stroker kit I initially bought, but say they will with the one they got me.

I'm also going to go with a conservative tune.

I initially just bought a 255 lph pump and was going to put that in and be done with it. The guy who is doing the installation of the engine recommended the t-rex. It sounds like I'm getting some bad advice.

:-(

My internals are similar, but it sounds like I should have splurged on the dart block. I guess time will tell.

Well, what I would do is just save up like 2K for a block just incase anything happens. So eventually, if something does than you have immediate $$ to replace the block.

That's what I'll do and is the dart block the block of choice?

Its not the only one but its definetly one of the best.
