Dart Special High Performance (SHP) Small Block Chevy Iron Block

Why waste your valuable time sourcing, cleaning, machining and prepping a 30 year old small block core in the hope it will be usable?

What if you could have a true high performance small block from the most respected aftermarket block manufacturer without the expense of a full race block? Now you can...

The new Special High Performance Small Block Chevy block from Dart gives you all the features you need to build a powerful and durable engine at an affordable price. Cast from high nickel iron for superior strength, the SHP block features siamese cylinders with 4.000 or 4.125 standard bore sizes available. Cylinder walls are a minimum of .230" thick at 4.165 bore!

The block is machined using precision digital CNC equipment and is virtually ready to assemble right out of the box after a final cylinder hone. Decks are even and parallel within .002", lifter bores, cam and main tunnels are finished. The Dart SHP block is designed for compatibility with stock components, so no costly special parts are required for assembly.
