I've read in another forum where someone states that Dart blocks are hard to keep cool on the street as opposed to FRPP or World Products Man O War. Does this statement hold any validity?

It might if your water pump/oil pump doesn't work

Thats a huge load of bull****,we run a Dart block with siamese bore and it has no problem staying cool.Temp hovers around 180*,just like our 74' 351W block did (electric water pump,FRPP alum. rd,newer stang fan,no t-stat cause of the electric pump).With the mech pump temps were as low as 170* (with 160* t-stat).
