Details
Dart puts Ford racers in front with our first SHP (Special Hi-Performance) iron blocks designed just for Fords. Working with leading Ford racers and engine builders, we designed the SHP Series small blocks to solve the shortcomings of production-type blocks used in high-performance applications. With all the features saved from the Iron Eagle blocks needed for high horsepower street engines, the SHP block will easily handle 600 HP and is the ideal starting point for hot rodders, drag racers, circle track competitors, off-roaders and high performance marine enthusiasts.
We added the features that Ford racers need to build powerful and reliable engines, such as steel main caps that are splayed 4-bolt on the center three and 2-bolt on #1 and #5, and utilize 1/2 in bolts, the valley is machined to accept factory roller lifter guides and retainer (spider). Siamese cylinders have a .230 minimum wall thickness at 4.185 in bore diameter. Other features include a true priority main oiling system that ensures reliable lubrication at high rpm, .625 in thick decks with blind 1/2 in head bolt holes and clearance for long stroke crankshafts. The SHP block retains the Ford small block original dimensions and is compatible with most stock components
