Dart Big M vs Merlin IV

I'm a Dart user , but I'm looking to use a Merlin 4 for a new build , the merlin has the option of 55mm Cam and 904 lifters . The Dart I have to have it machined .

Dart will do all of that stuff for you too. Even the x pattern for big chief heads.

Haven't looked at a Merlin block in a while but I really prefer the dart. No matter what setup it comes with, it needs a good amount of finish work.

The last Merlins I dealt with were rough as a cob , thats why I always prefered the Darts. Just wish someone would offer an option
for a raised cam and 55mm or 60mm cam tunnel and .904 lifters or larger , Without a huge up charge or 2nd party machining.
