Dam, im almost sorry i brought up the Chinese block a few weeks ago on another thread (NOT!!!) i was messing with Carl on that thread (just a little) but i have total respect for his ability to check these blocks out. I too have a connection with Dart and i won't say what i paid for my Dart lil M blk. But i will say that the only thing i had to do was bore it and hone the lifter bores, the mains were fine, no line honing. I read the thread on YB and someone mentioned checking the Chinese blk. with a CMM, i gotta say i've never seen a CMM that could check out a blk. and i've been a machinest for over 50 yrs. and we have a $250,000.00 CMM. But that's not the issue here, i want bash anyone's product and i can also buy the Chinese version for less than $1,000.00. With that said, i will wait for the results of the metal test and the probe/location diminsions test on the PBM and the ProComp blk.

Carl I did write that and is was directly from the guy who I spoke with. I also called PBM and they tried to say that is was there block and not a Procomp, he would not actually give any facts just it was not a procomp block.
i think you saved me the 30 min drive to Fontana Ha ha

QUOTE=ERV JR;2647506]Ok well I called procomp and I would like to say sorry to the guy who started the thread. They do make a block, he said its a rough bore I think he said a 4.100 but not sure, so its needs to be bored. I questioned the quailty and of course he said it was good. he also said that whe they first came out they had a few places take them from them while @PRI and the shops had them checked and they were fine. he told me to do a search online and i could find out alot about them, I told him I had and that the resultsfrom the searches werent good.I questioned the quailty of a few more products like their 400gph billiet pump and asked if they sol rebuild kits or seals, he said no but they are the same as a grant so order those. I then told him grant wont sell parts. He asked me why I was even calling to ask about there products if i had so many doubts. Simple i said the price is good and i want to know what they are all about. He did adamit that the heads or he said the older cast heads were poor but he now says that they are alot better now.
Also he said that PBM and one other company who I cant remember are actually using or resaling the Procomp block and doing the finish bore. he offered to let me look at one of there blocks, he said just give him 30 min notice so he could pull one and open the crate. I may just take a 30 min drive to see what the hell he has

Let me GUESS here jpcomeaux and boostaddict are the same person and I am guessing you live in Florida and I am guessing you maybe work for Wheeler because JP or JT was qouted from wheeler as having their blocks cast in the same place Dart has theirs done.
Am I even warm here or are my guesses way off, Just trying to add everything up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I maybe way OFF as its only a GUESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
