4.125" Bore, 9.240" Deck, Short Skirt Block
Part Number: DA31837211
Dart’s LS Next block is the first significant change in the architecture of the LS engine platform. By eliminating the “Y-block” design and utilizing conventional style main caps and oil pans, Dart has addressed the problems resulting from the LS engine’s separated crankcase bays. Windage is greatly reduced, resulting in increased power along with a much stronger main web area.
Features:
Dart’s LS Next block is cast in the USA with premium cast iron alloy
Conventional style 4-bolt steel main caps with 7/16” bolts are used
Full main webbing for maximum bottom end strength
Cylinder barrels are extended by .375” at the bottom, providing greater piston support for all combinations
9.240” deck height, with options of 9.450" are available which allows for a possible effective barrel length of 9.825” deck block
Extra thick Siamese cylinder bores allow for large displacement capacity, and a max bore size of at least 4.200”
A 5/8” thick full deck design with a 9.240” deck height
