Description
The LS platform dominates performance builds, but factory design compromises—particularly windage loss and oil control in separated crankcase bays—leave power on the table. Dart’s LS Next Iron block solves these fundamental issues with a clean-sheet design that combines conventional main caps and oil pan compatibility with modern LS rotating assemblies, giving you superior oiling efficiency and reliability whether you’re building a drag car, circle track competitor, or high-powered street machine. The result is a purpose-built foundation that addresses what factory engineers couldn’t without sacrificing the parts compatibility serious builders depend on.
