Those are chinese blocks and are junk I have one here and you can have itfor free but I can tell you this its totaly junk.

I did alot of testing on those junk blocks when they first hit the market a while back.

Here are some links to go over

This is the link of the final probing and testing of the chinese block and it took couple of months for PBM to admit there blocks were from china, Just an up date PBM no longer sells those blocks.

It's bad enough we have to deal with Chinese Crankshafts, Connecting Rods and rocker arms, but now blocks. We bought one to see what all the hipe was, they are crude.. Dart or world, don't trust anything but these blocks.

IMO it's just a matter of time before world, dart and some of the other brands start buying casting from china.....Cp

I SURE HOPE NOT BUT MONEY TALKS AND THATS EVENTULLY WANT MATTERS MOST TO SOME!

I have talk to Richard Maskins quite a few times I really don't think Dart is going to ever go to the chinese for castings.

Now World I wouldn't be surprised if they did as they seem to bee in trouble financialy and shut there engine building shop down last year because of failur rates were to high,

We we seeing alot of issues with world blocks and they would never take them back so we stopped using world blocks.

So it looks like a Dart is the way to go,any tips on who would be the best to deal with and the best deal of course. :D

Just don't ever forget that just because it says MADE IN USA don't mean it is. I HAVE PERSONALLY STAMPED "USA" on parts made in China and sent them out. This was for work and I was told to do it. It was not me selling my stuff.
