Dart blocks for ss?

[richie 2]

so are they legal for SS now? i can get a 4" bore unit reasonably priced and would like some "classracer" opinions on going in that direction please...

there's a list on the nhra website. i believe the only choice is the dart little m sportsman block.

[richie 2]

is there any advantages/disadvantages in using a dart over a bowtie block? i want too spend my once in a lifetime/hard earned cash investment properly. thankyou...

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

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

I'd use whichever block can be decked the most.

The most we have decked of the 2503 Bowtie block was .250 it was far a sprint car build and the upper water pump bolts holes the threads were right there.
