Just wanted to get opinions. I come from old school Chevy back in the days, and Dart was always known to make excellent aftermarket heads.

Thanks,
Todd

 

theyre really nice but $$$

 

Dart makes good stuff.

I was about [-] close to getting one, but that's all I would've been able to get. LOL and it would've been a 2K dollar paper weight b/c I would've had no money to complete the project.

I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a 2.0L solution.

 

Yes its a very good deal. You can bore up 86mm, it has improved cylinder construction, main caps, and fluid channels.

It's the textbook definition of "Bullet Proof".

Plus you can get the extended deck version and improve rod ratios without worrying about multi piece construction. Summit sells em for ~$2000.

Plus you don't have to worry if it was stolen or has a bajillion miles on it.

 

I have heard nothing but good reviews about these blocks. I will probably buy one in the not too distant future myself. I think that one or more of the import drag sanctioning bodies outlawed them though

I know they are banned in NHRA not so sure about IDRC.

Can you please explain more on this? You mean the block is taller than say, a stock B18C1 or B20? Would you have to get special rods for a longer stroke then?

I currently have a bone stock B18C1 swap in my hatch. What would you guys recommend I use if I got this block?

Thanks.

 

Todd, you'd only wanna **** with this if you were building a all-out setup...like a 10k+ All-Motor Setup and you wanted everything...

I might try one next year, but for you...I woudl just throw some CTR Pistons in that GSR and work on the Top-End.

just curious, what would you do for a timing belt?

 

HEHE what a thread jack but still a sick *** block.

 

sorry but this block really needs to go...... timming belt would be a stock gsr timming belt with off set gear

Dropspeed does? No kidding?? Hmm...

 

off set gear??? where does one get one of those? where does it go?

 

its the gear that connects to the crank... you can get one from GE

 

Dropspeed(Matt) is going to be running a Dart tall deck block. Not running yet though. IM him, and tell him I told you to bug him about it...btw- refer to him as Harold Derriere
Jeff G.

 

OT: Monday night on the way back from ATL, me and my friend saw a Dart 18 wheeler truck filled with engine blocks.

I was scramblin in the back of my car trying to get my camera, but they exited before I could get a pic.

ok.... back to the topic. I just had to say I prolly saw about 50K dollars worth of engine blocks riding down the highway. lol

is there any kind of gasket bewteen the stock deck and bottom of the plate. I have a custom deck plate b16 darton block that turns a b16 block to b18c height and it has a steel gasket. just wondering if the ge one does too. i have never seen the GE deck plate in person.

 

would the dart block be a good setup for FI?
