It looks like the Dart cast iron Gen 3 Hemi block is available.
PRI quotes:
“This block will change the game,” promised Mike Sanders. “We’ve added extra cooling capacity and changed the oiling system.”
The new block will not allow MDS (cylinder deactivation) but will be available with or without provisions for variable valve timing (VVT). It also comes with steel four-bolt mains in all five locations and will be available in either a 9.250- or 9.285-inch deck. Maximum bore will be 4.250-inch.
“Now you can build nearly a 500-cubic-inch Gen III Hemi,” Sanders noted. —Mike Magda
