Iron Eagle Block

[dirtdevil]

Got a good deal on a Dart Iron Eagle block. I know it takes a different timing chain and a spread rail oil pan. Anything else special about it we need to know?

It's an exact copy of the Dart aluminum block.Very strong and very heavy.It uses a big block cam journals and lots of work required to run as a wetsump.

[dirtdevil]

What kind of work to run wetsump?

[perfconn]

There are no oil drain back holes in the valley.If you run it as a wetsump you will have to drill holes in the valley to get the oil back into the oilpan.

Okay. As always thanks for all the trusted information.

This is all true !

To buy an oil pan is outragous .Had one ten years was bored to 4.195 nice piece ! drilled oil drainback holes in it myself ! sold it and was still being ran last i knew. Also had to run remote filter and lines !

[perfconn]

If weight and work is of no concern then the Iron Eagle block is the best and strongest steel block on the market.

If interested I have a new Jesel belt drive for that block using s BBC snout for 1200 dollars

Will sell it for a good price if anyone is interested.
