the 3 blocks that are cost reasonable is the world < was a good piece soft metal to hone like it has been made of sand But still a good product - on the CK10 it sheds off metal like sand but hones smooth we brush hone after the final hone and it looks bad i would have to say but it works well in use - world castings in LI NY
dart machine : it was a very hard unit almost stone like to hone < the early 440 dodges were like that But now they have changed it dont know why but i like it better than before an it was good than as well but different < my choice of the 3 Has many options available steel caps / nodular caps and cross drilled as well as a few others but it gets the cost up big and little M
than Chevy's bo ty dont confuse this block with the production unit it is not the same -- the bo ty race unit is pricey 3500 and more and is limited in what you can get - solid foundation for any race program heavy tho maybe the heaviest of the bunch < thick every place and tap it with a metal hammer and it rings < real strong
