Dart’s Iron blocks for Ford are designed to work with stock components, but are much more than a stock replacement.
Designed from the ground up for hard core racing, all the weaknesses of the factory castings have been addressed. Dart blocks are cast from premium high strength Iron with extra thick cylinder walls and decks. The main webs are beefed up and fitted with steel 4-bolt main caps.
