Hopefully he cut ya a deal on all 3, Definitely the older Dalton IN cast blocks, but still a deal if no serious out of the ordinary machine work is needed.
Third block is a Dart SHP 351 block. It’s for another project I’m ever so slowly accumulating parts. Have a TFS R upper and lower for it as well. Will most likely get a set of TFS 205 11R’s when the time comes.

So what is the difference between the Dalton Corporation and the Eisenwerk Brühl German cast blocks? I don't think the cast iron is any different is it?
I reread what I typed and that could have easily been misconstrued to have been directed at you. Should have read that I didn't want to hear it from her being that was her car I used hence all the blankets. Literally got twice the fuel mileage of my truck so that saved me over $100. I have two big boxes of them from past moves. Company paid for me to move once and I asked the moving company if the blankets were part of the moving cost and they said yes so I told them to leave all of them.

Different grade iron, harder too. Germany one is way more modern technology casting, they look almost black in color, way less scrap in casting from pours with voids and porosity issues. Side by side those blocks really show how far behind us iron industry is from greed and neglect of the PE groups that have bleed them dry for decades, Dalton went bankrupt from pe group nonsense. They both will work fine, dont forget that exact dart block was 3600,+ during the covid price gouging....
