Anyone using the Compstar Darton block?
It has Darton MID sleeves, line hone and decked, rough bored to 4.115 and can go up to 4.165. ARP main hardware
Any thoughts on using this for a big cube all motor setup?

What kind of power are you putting down?

If you're going to go that route, use Steve at RED... he's the ONLY man IMO to do these sleeves. Hell of a good guy as well.
If I were you, I'd get in line for a World Products block. By the time you pay for a block, sleeves, machine work, billet caps, studs... to do the Darton block, you could have pretty much paid for the WP block, which should still be superior. Not to mention the resale value will likely be much higher with the WP block given most people are scared of the Darton resleeved blocks since they've had so many issues. You also have more room for growth with the WP block as well, not to mention the the WP block has the 6 bolts/cylinder and beefer casting.
