Pics of LME 390ci DART Short Block at AMP

Here is the ultimate short block setup for blown applications. This block is a piece of art from DART. It consists of a BILLETT aluminum block which basically starts out life as a BIG square 500 pound block of BILLETT and then is machined into a 150 pound finished block.

This PARTICULAR one is a 390CI short block built to hold up to 3000+ HP. It was spec'ed out by AMP and built by LME. The machine work is incredible. It looks like a piece of jewellery. LME did some pretty trick embossing on this short block.

You could probably buy a 50K engagement ring or this completed engine which is what I would guess this would set you back. The bare block by itself is an easy 15-20K.

It's gorgeous

So is it billet steel or billet aluminum? I assume aluminum since billet is most commonly used to describe billet aluminum

EDIT: I see your edit to specify ALUMINUM

Are you sure it’s a DART block? Noonan was the only one making Gen V billet blocks based on what I had found previously. And yeah, $14K for just the block…

Good night. I think I saw there is a new LT-block, too. I forget from who, but they also made the LS-R... Maybe LT-R, or something...

OK this is a DART BILLETT LT block referred to as an LTX block and it is one of the first ones that was delivered. This was ordered MONTHS ago before the pandemic and i just now being delivered after a stop at LME for the build process. DART required you to PREPAY for the blocks.
