RE: Biggest SBF i have ever built.
god i love dart aluminum....... here are block picks, i picked it up a little while ago from the shop, i did not have them assemble the bottom end, iam still waiting on ARP main studs, and a 5/8 inch girrdle.
the block was notched, bored to 4.125(i ordered the 4 inch to get a exact bore with my bottom end), honed,clearenced, zero decked, and a thing or two else iam forgetting at the moment.

RE: Biggest SBF i have ever built.
ya it is dead sexy, iam going with a 5/8 inch thick main girdle for everybody that is wondering for 1 reason, i do not want a engine that i have 12-15k invested in coming apart when i start laying down around 1200-1600 RWHP at 7k rpm. $100 plus the stud kit that i was already ordering is just cheap insurance for me, and a little peace of mind. That is the same reason iam installing rocker stud girdles, main girdle, windage tray, anddebating on filling the block a little bit. When planning a build on this porportion and size trust me you dont want to see it start coming apart. It will be going into a 1985 mustang GT, unknown transmission, 9 inch built rear end with 31 spline axles, diff girdle, torque box upgrades, heavy duty up/lw control arms, and tubed wheel wells to fit 315+ wide tires. subframe connectors, 12 point welded in roll cage.
