LTX block is cancelled from dart Well, I have received some very, very unfortunate news today.
This project has been officially canceled.
It seems that after speaking to many of our engine builders, warehouses, racer clients and others that our initial assessment was somewhat over-inflated, our secondary assessment has not been nearly as positive as the first, sadly.
I and everyone else here at Dart realize that this is a big let down for a lot of the people who showed so much interest in the project. I don't make any excuses for it, we messed up this one, and we're sorry.
I, personally am disappointed that we decided not to do this, as I was really looking forward to going ahead with it, but I also understand why, in the end, it was decided not to do so.
I suspect that I'll get beat up a bit for this announcement, it's not one that I enjoy making... I certainly don't hold it against anyone who is upset about this.
Sorry again to everyone who showed such support for the project.

there commited to the ls program, which has been received with overwhelming acceptance and success.
if anything dart will release a ls block before anything else.
if u need big cubes, then should look into aftermarket sbc engines or bbc.
or lsx swap.
wasnt meant to be.

Are you able to be more specific on what caused the cancellation? Was it re-tooling costs, projected sales, etc?
Thanks,
