Yah,
540 in 9.8 block won't work, right.
2006 540 short deck still kickin a$$.
And, the only "Quality" parts used was the dart block, everything else as cheap as could be found new!

Thanks to all
I was looking specifically for Gen VI opinions after being told that the Gen 4 block is the only way to go because GenIV way stronger than GenVI. Anyone know about the differences?
I hear your opinion on this BBB, I wish I had the extra bucks for an aftermarket tall deck.

Nothing is better than the Dart for the money ! Blind Head bolt holes Thicker Deck surfaces, More metal all around, Better oiling, the list goes on and on. In salt water especially, it's all on borrowed time and is turning into crap.
I'd like to slow down the process, instead of speeding it up by pushing the limits of a motor and trying to do what it's not DESIGNED for. BBB

The Dart is a great piece; no doubt!
Franks goal is very mild and his 502 Gen VI block is already clearanced for 4.25 stroke, has blind holes, modern casting technolog/machining and would require little boring for what he is after. Oiling has never been a problem on a big block.
Just my thoughts for what it's worth
