Chas

Thanks for this info. The Dart aluminium block weighs only 83 Lbs with caps and sleeves according to the sales guy I spoke to. Where is the difference in weight between the blocks if the Man O War aluminium block (8.2" deck, 4.125 bore) is 108lbs with caps and sleeves?

Also, do you have any pics of the aluminium blocks with the expanded water jackets so that I can see what you mean in terms of their look.

Many thanks for your help
