Overview
Engineered for applications where water between the bores is a requirement. Siamese bore versions are also available for larger bore applications.
MRK IV blocks use the 2-piece rear seal design, and Gen V and Gen VI blocks use a 1-piece rear seal as well as a different timing cover pattern.
These blocks are based on Dart’s Big M design and include features like priority main oiling and 4-bolt main caps.
- Standard 9.800” and tall 10.200” deck heights available.
- Standard 4.250”, 4.310”, 4.500”
- Uses +.300” tall Gen VI style lifters. Modification for Gen IV style available.
- 4-bolt main bearing caps in Ductile Iron have splayed outer bolts for extra strength.
- Lifter valley bosses for OE style roller lifters and retainer.
- Mechanical fuel pump boss, clutch linkage mounts, and side and front motor mounts simplify installation in any chassis.
- Parts kit sold separately
These blocks are available in any level of finish from ready for "as-produced" to fully machined to a complete custom crate engine. Whatever your needs, we can help.

-Square deck to height and CNC chamfer cylinders on our 4-Axis Rottler CNC

Our 4-axis CNC boasts precision of 0.0002" and one thousandth of a degree. Check out this Instagram time-lapse video of a probe cycle. While we do love our CNCs, we use old school stone hones for a finish we believe to be superior to that typical of diamond hones.
Pricing includes free standard shipping in the continental US.
