I'd sign up for 20 of them, and I know the other shops that were signed up for the initial order on the dart deal. 40 prepaid would be a done deal if this is true.

Not sure what the price would be though. We would need Scoggin Dickey to step up and take the pre-orders for GM. When the minimal amount is reached...GM can then place the order for them to be built.

Dang Tony, don't tease us like that. Get our hopes up like Dart did and drop us on the ground!!! J/K! Man, if you can work something, I think I'd pony the plastic to get one.

Any idea on what the price would be.... ?
What's the largest stroke it can take?

I'd spring a couple K for the foundation of a 454 ci LTX although a solid 427 wouldn't be so bad ....

I was down to buy a dart block, called and called until they broke my heart and said they were dropping the project. So as I said before where do I send the money/soul????? Whatever works to get a block like this

I was one of the people bidding on the last one i seen on Ebay, but the price just went way to high for me. The guy say it was never used and had it sitting in a closet. He had posted that 10 were built for a race team but the never got them
