The Dart Big M block is heavier than the Merlin dry, but if you check the specs full of water the Big M is slightly lighter. Obviously the block will have water in it, thus I feel the extra mass makes the Big M slightly stronger.
Sampson: I highly recommend talking with the block manufacturer at great length. You really need to go closed cooling for block stability. Just my opinion, good luck.

But why would the merlin wet be heavier then the dart wet ?
that would be a lot of water to make up for the weight of steel ?! NO..am i missing something ???
