I really wanted to get a Dart block. Have NEVER heard anything bad about them.......well, besides price that is. I just found a block for 800, but its a stock block with dished forged pistons for turbo setup. Guy said he had 600hp on it. I just laughed to myself, because we all know that the stock block cant handle that, so i am sure its all cracked or not far from cracking. So i passed on it. If it was a good block, then it was worth it. No thank you. lol
