What is the P/N of the Bowtie If your comparing bore size to bore size the blocks should be pretty close in weight. What is the PN of the Bowtie in question? As some of the older bowtie blocks were offered in a small bore non Siamese cylinders.

Your question should be: How will the 20 lbs on the front of the car help me?
With the suspension set up properly the extra 20 lbs on the front my help your car E.T. It may help you keep it off the wheeliebar crutch.

carl i'll get the numbers...im also going to weigh everything again. I believe the difference between the two is #50. if its #20 im not going to fuss over that amount...I hear ya Auger as ive seen people place another touch on the front for that reason.

the dart is 205lbs. the bowtie part #24502503 with a casting #10051184 comes in @ 186lbs.

Same size bores?? And is that a priority oiling block?

[richie 2]

I stand corrected...the block is the #12480047 bowtie sportsman series (it has std cam bearing sizes & priority oiling) it weighs @ 186lbs...both blocks are @ 4.060''. im going with the bowtie as I have three bonus goodies being @ a good weight, lifter bushings installed and a very fair price.... are the rollers cam bearing deal worth the investment?

Roller cam bearings are def. worth the investment!

Make sure lifters are fit to the bores, I machine a lot of blocks for larger cam cores and roller cam bearings seem to be a thing of the past. Less drag and harmonics with babbit cam bearings.

The last Dart blocked small block I seen ran really, really good! It was well worth the investment.
