Tough call, some D blocks have had thicker cylinders and main webs vs DX. The main issue with D blocks was GM didn't tap the threads deep enough and use long enough main bolts in them. Basically sonic checking and measuring will be needed.

Yep, always gotta check.
Got a good deal on them tho, just had to make a trip south of Moosejaw to pick them up today

What is better rotors?
Slotted or drilled?

 

[fleming442]

Slotted. Cross drilled crack easier.

A very nice header, should be worth a few hp over the Flowtech or Hedman full length. Should be for the 2 million dollars Canadian, a set costs.
