Could be worth a little. Depends on how well your current block is blueprinted, how sound it is, and how well the Dart block gets finished. If you're putting all new parts in it, and you have the right sources, you might pick up power there, depending on how old your current stuff is.

Re: dart big m block
I CNC machine alot of Dart big -M blocks and this is what useally needs to be addressed.
Some block notes: I deck all of them to a finished number depending on gasket & desired piston height Block needs to be honed with a plate or bored & honed depending on bore Bottoms of bores need to be chamfered Most need the lifter bores honed, at the least checked Most need line honing All pipe threads need to be retapped Oil return from fuel pump cavity needs to be done Core plug holes need deburing CHECK THAT THE DISTRIBUTOR GEAR DOES NOT CONTACT THE BLOCK BY THE CAM. |
