This is not the finished product. The guys from Dart came by today to discuss the next steps to be taken to finish up the piece. We were of course happy to oblige them

 

Now that is a thing of beauty. Whats the time frame / Price of this thing going to be or ( Is the info even avaiable yet ).

that is awesome. how many days did it take to make that? and that must be some wicked CnC program

 

Should be ready by Christmas

 

Looks expensive, lol.

 

Holy ****! Details, Details, Details! Ready by Christmas eh? They certainly managed to keep this hush hush then, as I've heard nothing of it.

I want go with a Warhawk block, etc. Can't wait to hear more though!

 

HOLY F'N WOW! That thing is beautiful. But I can guess it's out of my price range.

 

I don't want to hedge a guess. Perhaps Kurt has an idea of how much and when. I am sure he will join in this weekend with some info. I believe this block will be the ticket for big power in race applications, but not sure about its practicality for street use.

 

Ive Heard 6k for it
Well put it this way..

when I asked about the lsx block on the dart website I was told about 6k for the block.

Considering you most likely wont need to spend another 2 or 3k to fix a supposed ready to run block I think the price is right =)

 

That is a piece of engineering right there. I can only imagine desiging the cam program to run that cnc haha.

 

LOL you have to overhaul the CNC machine by the time that block get done. Every tool would be gone. I bet that is 1 week of machine time. so cool though! I bet the conversational code or G code whatever they used for that bitch is a mile long.

 

I'm curious as to how big it will go?

 

Dart will have a block at PRI in Orlando for everyone to see.
The price is not set in stone yet, but it will be over 6000.
How big will it go, hmmmm, never thought about that. The deck is available as tall as you want it, so over 500ci would be a snap. The main reason for the block would be more geared towards high hp builds that require ultimate strength with reasonable weight. No blocks currently fill this need.

maybe about 400-410 and big turbo, solid cam 2000 hp engine....maybe.....wow.

 

This, to me, is as amazing as a dual-core Pentium. The billet itself is pretty amazing.

 

i think 2k hp woul dbe a drop ina bucket to this block... thats just...wow.. im gonna guess more toward 7k in price..heh. will you guys be "testing" a casper'esc setup with this?

 

 

can you imagine that thing polished? c'mon you know somebody is gonna do it.

 

How do the water jackets get machined? Just wondering how material is removed from around the cylinders without removing deck material.

 

The jackets are machined from the sides, then plates with o-rings cover and seal the water in.
