Take my word for it when I say you cannot find a more stout block for a Honda. Period.

The street prices I've seen is around $2200 for the block, and I think it's well worth it.

I know NHRA is reviewing the engine for use in Sport FWD and Hotrod classes. I don't think IDRC will be far behind.

For just under $2000, that's not much more expensive than buying a B18C1 block and having it sleeved.

one word:

Overkill

Even teams who run over 1000hp on stock bores are using just GE sleeved B18C's.

There is NO need to use a Dart block, unless....

The availability of B series blocks gets so low, they start selling for 2500

apparently the availability is getting pretty low considering how many GSR's get stolen each week.

you can get taller deck to run longer rods
build a nice engine with an eagle stoker crank and keep good rod/crank/ratio

The word stout comes to mind. A picture is worth a thousand words.

I think the block looked kinda crappy. The finish work was not very nice on it as well. Also, im pretty sure its not legal for racing either. If it does become legal, thats pretty gay because thats not a honda motor. To me, its like using a different mitsu. motor in a honda...thats illeagl

what is the big deal on legality. V8 boys do, have done it, and been approved...the sport compact/import scene is now beginning to do it.
