The Iron Eagle Sportsman block has 4 bolts on the three center caps. The two outer caps have two bolts. The regular Iron Eagle block has 4 bolts on all five main caps.

Both blocks can be set up for dry sump.

Dart also has a new block for Ford engines, called the SHP. It appears to fall between the Sportman block and a stock Ford block, for a few hundred $$ less than the Sportsman.

I agree. I have them on my 427, and they make excellent power. Pretty resonably priced, too.
