Re: has anyone used A Dart 427 Small block
What are you planning on doing with the truck?....
I have some experience with both stock blocks and the dart block. The dart block is better for a guy that wants a "plug and play" application. If you want to go the stock block then the there is some grinding to do to even make the crank spin in the block. A couple nights of grinding and hoping ya did it right and things will work ok. I have a 434 sitting in the corner that has I have no idea how many countless hours of torture on it as it has been a mud race motor in a 46 willys jeep and and a 72 chevy 3/4 4x4 rig. It takes a lot to keep them cool and makes crazy power. Basically at then end of each run you need to run a garden hose over the radiator if ya plan on making a run right away.....dart block and aluminium heads 320cc brodix and I can run to town and get a six pack of beer and not overheat with the same cooling setup. I can send some vids of each if ya like......dart block and aluminium heads are the way to go
