Not sure if this is old news but seems like the Dart Gen III block is finally available. Splayed main caps but still looks promising. See the FB post below. Dart Gen III blockNothing listed on the Dart webpage yet, only a placeholder but the comments in the post say they can be ordered from Dart dealers. Currently a 4-month lead time.

Well, that's not cheap....But the extra cubes would be nice...Does anyone recall how big they can build it? I remember 473 cubes is the biggest the normal way, and from there it needs a very special thrust bearing setup and crank to go 500 cubes.
Anyone got more info?

Didn't realize that was your post but put it together reading the comments. What's the goal with it?

I assume thats the hellcat/BGE block but they did make a lighter one for the cars up until 2016 or 2017 (not as strong) when they all just used the hellcat/BGE for everything 6.4 or 6.2 It's a 6.4 Block I've been using since 2012. I do have to make a revision to the Stock Block weight as I mistakenly forgot to include the Main Caps and Studs.

they are Nice piece ,
Non VVT block, 9.25 DH, with 4.25 , 4.30 Winberg crank, 1.88 pin, needed to clear the pan rail . (488ci) 6.1(c to c) rods, 1.0 Race tech Pistons, (put the piston .003 above deck in operation) 11 to 1 compression, 2.20 intake valve cleaned the bowl to match, then port matched to Drag pak intake , but other wise stock Apache heads, rockers arms and OEM lifters (for now) Purrs like kitten with cam motion GRIND# XA220/360 , may only be 1.65 Hp/CI at this point , but its' less than .600 lift cam and will idle for hours. bottom 2 inches of the water jacket are Hard blocked just for some add insurance against the god awful 1.42 Rod ratio.
