FORD 302 IRON COMP BLOCK 4.000BORE 8.2 DECK

Description

The Iron Eagle Sportsman
block for Ford small block
engines is designed to work
with stock components but is
much more than just a stock
replacement. Designed for
hard core racing, the Dart
Iron Eagle Ford block
addresses all the weakness of
factory castings. Dart blocks
are cast from premium, high
strength iron with extra
thick cylinder walls and
decks. The main webs are
beefed up and fitted with
steel 4 bolt main caps for
superior durability. Every
Dart block is individually
qualified to ensure maximum
thickness where you need it
most, every time. Dart blocks
are fully CNC machined and
virtually ready to assemble
with off the shelf
components.

Features:

• Siamesed
  cylinders: Standard
  4.000″ or 4.125″
  cylinders can be safely bored
  to 4.165″ diameter.
  Ductile iron sleeves and
  extra thick walls prevent
  cracking and produce
  excellent ring seal.
• Multiple deck heights allow
  for increased displacements
  of up to 468 cubic inches.
• Scalloped outer
  water jacket walls improve
  coolant flow around the
  cylinder barrels to prevent
  detonation, extend engine
  life and produce consistent
  cylinder temperatures.
• 4 bolt billet steel main
  caps. Three center caps have
  splayed outer bolts for extra
  strength; rear cap uses
  standard one piece seal.
• Two main bearing
  diameters 302 (2.249″)
  or 351C (2.749″) allow
  choice of small or large
  journal camshaft.
• Stock components make Dart
  blocks a direct replacement
  for most production small
  blocks. Provisions for stock
  motor mounts, accessory
  drives, smog pumps, starter
  brackets, oil pans and pumps.
• Upgraded oiling
  system has a complete stock
  type system plus a low
  restriction priority main
  oiling system with front and
  rear external oil pump feeds.
• Dual crossovers
  allow oil flow to be metered
  with restrictors for roller
  lifter cams and/or rocker
  roller arms to reduce oil
  flow and windage.
• Reinforced head bolt bosses
  are blind tapped to prevent
  leaks and produce accurate
  torque readings. Extra thick
  decks prevent head gasket
  leaks.

  camshaft and camshaft drive
