a receipt...

arent the wall thicknesses increased on those? Not sure if its to a degree that is measurable with common tools though. And what are main bearing caps made out of on the block your looking at?

Re: how do you identify a dart block

Don't these blocks go for like 2g's alone? After reading this how is getting your stock block sleeved not sound like a better and cheaper option compared to the Dart block. I wonder what they consider high HP numbers?
"they were never designed for operation in the extreme HP and RPM ranges enthusiasts are pushing today." Taken straight from Endyn's site and his thoughts on it.
