SBC Stocker Block?
 

Which block is best for the 350 Chevy Stocker? I have an 010 block filled with the lifter bores bushed at my disposal but had a bronze bushing push out and wreck a block. Is this a common problem? Should I go with a Dart Little M Sportsman? Is there a better option? Thanks.

The "best" is always subjective, of course. The Dart SHP is a popular replacement and offers a lot of bang for the buck. -Al

Aftermarket block will be much better than the stock block. Heavier though.

Just had Carl Hinkson prep a Dart SBC for me and I couldn't be happier. The extreme detail and price including shipping from back east to AZ was the lowest around. I would never go stock block again for medium to high HP racing.

Thanks. Which Dart block then as I see the Little M comes in 2 versions and there is also the SHP and I used to see a Bowtie but no longer on the list of accepted replacement blocks. Now a World Products block is.
Thanks for the help

If anyone is interested I have oil restrictors that are specifically designed for the SHP Block.

Its hard to believe a Bowtie block is not an accepted product , must be an oversite . How many Stock and Super Stockers are already running them , are they all illegal now ? Hard to believe !

The bow tie would be my first choice. The dart block would be my second choice. Like previously stated these 2 excellent blocks come with a 35 - 40 lb. weight addition.....The accepted list on page 49 was revised in March and the bow tie appears to be left off. There are TONS of bow tie blocks n stock / Superstock....

I did the Little M with steel caps. Billet caps were not needed even with 300HP of nitrous
