Got my Dart Little M Block in today form Flatlander Racing. They are pretty good people to deal with and have good price. Anyway I just thought I would post these pics for a few guys that wanted to see the block when it came.

Thats freakin awesome! What do you plan on building with that puppy?

 

by the looks of the boxes in the background, its going to be a quality powerplant.....thats the same block my boss used for his race motor.....600hp with a 390 carb.....congrats man.

 

Thanks for the congrats. The motor is just going to be a 406. Heres the layout.


Dart Little M Block
Dart 230 Pro 1 heads
Dart Manifold
Eagle 4340 Crank
Eagle 4340 H beam rods
SRP Pistons
Comp Roller cam and lifters
Comp Magnum roller rockers
Comp roller timing chain
750 Demon carb
and a whole lot of nitrous

 

Awwww, only a 406 i was hoping you were gonna drop in a 4" crank.

 

sweet, :hail: what did that run ya?
need to get me one of those :rockon:

 

Flatlander had the best price that I had found on the Dart blocks at $1669.00 plus they had free shipping on the block, so that saved me another $80-$100.

 

any chance you could post a pic from the top and one from the back? or maybe you could just send it down to Ft. Lauderdale so i could look at it first hand. i'd send it back, i swear...

 

With the right parts (and a massive wallet) you could build a 427 or even a 454 mouse motor with that

I've seen it done. Once i think was in Hot Rod magazine. The other was in a '68 Camaro.. it was built to 427 ci.

 

Congrats on the purchase. I'm looking into the same thing.

Nice setup by the way.

A friend of mine is running a 400 motown block with eagle crank and rods and recently ran low 9s.

Sounds like you've got a pretty bullet proof engine

 

Thanks again guys.

Not that I don't trust ya or anything, but I think I will just keep the block here and get you the pics you want.

Question about the blocks. Anybody know the diff in the little M and the iron eagle blocks? And i'm not knocking you superman cause I am thinking of going to dart block but you think that getting a good block is actually worth the money? I've seen fully prepped 400 blocks that look good for 800 but I plan on pushing almost 500Hp with my 406. Thanks.

 

I can't wait till the day I can afford and aftermarket block....

Sounds like a solid setup, have you picked the cam yet? How big of a shot are you planning on running?

 

Is that a roller block?

 

its a aftermarket block.


and no it doesnt have provisions for a factory style "spider" roller lifter setup



but like all other small blocks, he can run any aftermarket roller system he wants... the only downsize to aftermarket over factory rollers is cost....

 

I've done business with Flatlander, also. Good service. Good luck with that beauty, Superman.

 

Superman I emailed flatlander to see if the 400 was all 4 bolt mains and they said all 5 mains were 4 bolt. Why isn't yours in the pic all 4 bolt mains?

 

any dyno #'s on the 406?

 

Good question. I'm curious as well.
