Dart Engine Blocks & Parts

Just like many other successful companies, Dart began in humble surroundings. Founded in late 1981, it started business with a desk and telephone in a two-car garage. The company's first product was an aluminum cylinder head that dominated the top fuel and funny car markets for many years. Over the years it has expanded its product selection to include a wide range of cylinder heads, intake manifolds and engine blocks. Today, it is a proven leader in aftermarket engine parts and accessories that is committed to producing the finest engine components available.

The majority of Dart products are manufactured from row castings in the United States. All development, manufacturing and assembly are done in Dart's state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities located in Michigan. In its CNC machining centers the company creates high-performance engine parts that feature what people call “the Dart advantage”. The company utilizes computer control dynamometers and the propriety “Speed Flow” technology, as well as applies its decades of manufacturing expertise to provide the most powerful and reliable engine parts on the market.

Dart stands behind the products it designs and manufactures. Each and every component undergoes a detailed manufacturing process that involves hundreds of calculated and precision steps to ensure the finest quality possible. The company utilizes top-of-the-line equipment, the same one that is used by major aerospace manufacturers, which allows for maximum precision in high volume production. Dart's manufacturing facilities are equipped with advanced Zeiss coordinate measuring machines that make it possible to achieve the utmost accuracy in every product manufactured. They employed dynamic navigation software, which gives Dart's craftsmen the ability to monitor the conditions of the machining tools they work with to prevent any possible inaccuracies due to tool wear.

The quality of casting defines the potential of the final part. Castings made without attention to every detail in nine out of ten cases will lower the bar for the performance of the end product. That's why Dart pays a lot of attention to the materials their products are manufactured from. The company uses either high-quality aluminum or iron castings, made from start to finish in the USA, for its cylinder heads, engine blocks and other engine components. Its aluminum castings feature aerospace quality alloy, which is the best solution for high-temperature, high-pressure demands of today's high-performance engines. The iron castings provide superior tensile strengths and hardness ratings, which results in the increased lifespan of Dart engine blocks and cylinder heads.
