    Which aftermarket block?

    My 408 engine build has taken a turn as my original block didn't sonic to well with some walls coming in @ .90 . So instead of chasing another original block and wasting more money, I have decided to go aftermarket. So my question is which way to go , the arrow which is more a traditional Cleveland or the dart shp 9.200 which is a hybrid type (clevo/windsor). I already have CHI 208 heads and manifold and sump etc. Anyone with some info would be much appreciated

    Pretty sure the dart shp blocks are cheaper. Have just been reading about the some issues with the main cap bolts with the arrow block.

    Completely agree about the state (or lack there of) of our manufacturing industry. You would prefer dart over arrow ? Was leaning towards arrow as its basically a Cleveland block that's been updated.

    This is exactly the reason why I'm opting for an aftermarket block, don't see the point wasting time and $$ on a standard block. Think I'll stick to around 400 cubes but.

    This will mainly be a streetcar so a big dollar block is pointless imo , but you're right about needing bigger heads . Especially being able to go to 440 cubes.

    Yeah was leaning towards the Dart shp 9.200 block. Can use my heads and I think my CHI single plain with a little fab work. It's just sump and pump I think are Windsor.

    Chinese, but finished here correct? I don't need anything outrageous, what is the price for these T.Meyer block's ?

    Have you gone this way yourself, if so how much?
  10. Hi new guy here , am building a 408 stroked clevo and tossing up between a cast or 4340 crank. I have chi 208 3v heads and single plane manifold, will put a hyd roller 240@.50 .612 lift and a 850 DP . Will go into a xy sedan with a toploader. Will only be a weekend streeter . Is 4340 warrented or would the cast be safice

    Cast or 4340 408 stroker crank

    Was thinking about 6400 at most . My heads have the c3 assembly from chi. Cheers for the info aswell mate.

    Cast or 4340 408 stroker crank

    Yes , I will get the complete assembly balanced. Just heard the cast takes more to balance, so it doesn't end up much cheaper. Would you go 4340 or cast ?

    Cast or 4340 408 stroker crank

    Your right about their dual plane , maybe down the track. Have modeled this build off the nulon xy engine, it uses a single plane. That's why I went that way. Have read the cast cranks take a bit to balance, have you had any experience with them? Cheers

    Was thinking as much. So a scat 9000 with h beams and srp forged pistons will be fine? The $800 saving would be nice.
