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. 

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.

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. 

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.

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? 

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 

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