Are Dart cylinder sleeves the same as Darton?

This is probably a stupid question but i can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

I am trying to buy Darton sleeves for my LS2 on summitracing.com but the only option available on that site is Dart cylinder sleeves.

Googled Dart and the results are Darton but nowhere on their site or summitracing.com does it say the Darts are Dartons.

Example: http://summitracing.com/parts/drt-32110211

Anyone??

Default Darton sleeves

Darton makes the sleeves that are in Dart engine blocks. The company names are similar which is pure coincidence.

Dart does not have sleeves for the LS2. You need to get them from Darton or a Darton dealer like me. I can do the install for you as well if you need that done.
