Is the plug installed in the block, under the rear main cap , that sends oil to the filter ? If missing it will bypass the filter, and may cause contaminated oil to ruin the bearings . Don't know if the Dart blocks are machined like a production Chevy block, but when I bought a couple of factory blocks that plug was missing .
