DART Quality vs GM Junk

Re: Dart blocks for ss?
 

I don't know about u guys, but I have yet to see a junk bowtie block, over priced,maybe? Junk, I think not.

Re: Dart blocks for ss?
 

When you put them side by side you will be able to tell the difference in quality.
Been there done that... and it was not even close on a choice.
Dart is much superior in almost every way.
When I bought mine the GM block was actually higher in price by just a little, but price was not the deciding factor for me at the time.
My 2 Cents

Re: Dart blocks for ss?
 

Unless they've changed, Dart was using the same foundry and the same material as GM. GM has gone to a very high quality CNC process. They (BowTie blocks) were never junk, but Dart surpassed them in quality at least for a while.

Make sure you compare apples to apples when you compare blocks, don't compare the cheapest two bolt main cast cap BowTie block to a Dart Little M, that's not a reasonable comparison. At one time, GM had a few BowTie blocks that were specifically intended to be cheap and small upgrades from production blocks. They were really meant to pass tech as a factory block in low budget classes so that racers who had to run a GM block could have an alternative to used up worn out salvage yard rejects. They were not meant to be a real "aftermarket" block for high end racing.

what block is legal for the SS SBF?

Re: Dart blocks for ss?
 

According to the list, there are none. The only accepted Ford aftermarket blocks on the list (page 89-90) are for the FE.
