I have a Dart Big-M and a Merlin Block, both short deck, I like the Dart much better. The Merlin is about 30 lbs heavier based on when I scaled my car. The Merlin also has more bolt holes that go into the water jacket at various places, not a big deal deal, but I didn't notice them till I started putting water in.
My next block will be Aluminum, not sure if I'll get a the Dart or Brodix or something else. Anyone recommend the best aluminum BBC block.

Donavon if you are going to beat on it with a bunch of spray.. The Brodix blocks have had a problem cracking under pressure, just my opinion.
