dr_hunt Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Just thought you all ought to know, installed engine in z, dart block, afr heads and the S&S full length headers hit the block where the scallops are around the water drain hole on the side of the block.

fastzcars Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Man that really sucks. Can you send them back? Or maybe make some spacer's. Or maybe sell them, i'm sure some here would buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 No the steering shaft would hit if I bent them or added spacers. Dart blocks have siamesed cylinders like the bow tie blocks and the 4 inch bore can be safely bored to 4.185 so they added these scallops to allow water to cool the thicker cylinder walls, which leads to the problem. If you look at the S&S headers, some minor changes in the bending could result in alot better fitment IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
