PBM blocks

And as for Carl at CNC Blocks sure he is going to promote Dart as he is a Dealer for them, It wasnt broadcast all over the net when he was having issues with the main bore housings on the SHP blocks.

Yes, it was, he started this post here Titled "SHP MAIN LINE (NOT IMPRESSED)" http://speedtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14169

Then you can read the follow up by (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) Maskins (owner of dart) here: http://www.speedtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14295

I'm not defending or going after Carl, but he has brought up issues with all brand of parts including ones he sells, so I see that as not having an axe to grind as he could have just taken care of the issue with Dart without posting it first. What I have read and seen leaves me to believe he's being fair and unbiased as one can be. (In my opinion).

I'm done with this subject but advise anyone to do your own research and make your on minds up about different products.

****Note: In all fairness to PBM, I don't think the block tested with the soft issue was actually a PBM unit but was the same casting which I don't think they ever ended up selling because of that whole drama. Again not 100% but you can search and find it yourselves if you like.

If I recall it was just on speed talk. But the PBM issue was on here, speed talk, yellow bullet and another. Just seemed to be a little biased towards Dart, and rightly so if that is where he makes his money.

PBM Aluminum Block

Hi guys, new here and found site by trying to do some research on PBM blocks.
I currently run a PBM aluminum small block in my road racer......428 ci, 14:1 compression, Dart 230 Platinum heads, 620 HP @ 6500 and 560 TQ at 4900.
I have run one season on this block and so far the only issue I have had was recently breaking a PBM timing chain and will now be going to a belt drive.
I will keep you guys posted on any future experiences and in the mean time since stampings and serial numbers have been part of the discussions I will take and post some pic's while it is still apart.
