Inspired by Dart's championship winning Pro Stock designs, Dart Pro 1 aluminum cylinder heads cover a wide range of applications from street cars and trucks to all-out racing. Heads designed for street performance and mild bracket racing offer excellent mid-range torque and power, and are excellent for heavier vehicles. Competition heads are ideal for maximum effort naturally aspirated, big boost forced induction, or nitrous applications. Dart Marine Pro 1 cylinder heads feature an exclusive chromate surface finish to inhibit corrosion and extend the life of the head. They are also fitted with Inconel exhaust valves to withstand the extended running time and temperatures typical of marine usage. Dart's as-cast ports flow more than many ported designs at a much more affordable price. But they also offer fully CNC-machined heads with every intake port, exhaust runner, valve bowl, and combustion chamber shaped by their 5-axis, computer controlled machining centers to produce compound curves and complex shapes that no human could duplicate with a hand grinder. Available bare or fully assembled, long-wearing bronze valve guides, screw-in studs, multi-angle intake seats with hardened, radiused exhaust seats are standard on most heads. Assemblies typically include stainless steel valves, premium springs, locks, retainers, guide plates, and seals. Many Pro 1 heads include race-proven features such as improved spark plug location, extra-long intake valves, raised exhaust ports, and fast burn chambers. They are offered an extensive variety of valve angles, intake port volumes and shapes, exhaust port locations, valve sizes, and chamber volumes.

Dart Pro series rocker arm studs are ideal for competition applications. They are made from 8470 chromoly steel and are heat-treated to 200,000 psi tensile strength. These studs are concentric within .005 T.I.R. thread pitch to thread pitch, which will give you more consistent rocker geometry. With an extra-large radius base, these studs are more resistant to flex and will provide a more positive seating.

Dart stud girdles can help to improve the performance and reliability of engines equipped with stud-mounted rocker arms. Extra-long adjusting nuts are tightly clamped between rigid aluminum bars that prevent stud deflection under high loads. The valve motion more closely follows cam profile, producing more power and reducing breakage. Unlike universal girdles, these valvetrain stabilizers are designed to fit the specific valve locations, valve angles, and valve lengths in Dart cylinder heads. These kits include hardened poly-lock adjusting nuts.

If you're building up a Dart block and want the best bearings with the correct sizing, then you'll want Dart cam bearings. They're fully grooved, made from steel-backed babbit, and specifically designed for high performance use. To all of this, Dart adds their own moly-PTFE coating for even better performance and durability. This coating is approximately 0.0005 in. thick, which translates into 0.001 in. less overall clearance.
