how does the bowtie block compare to a Dart or Motown?? Are they as strong, do they have splayed caps?? Anything different that I would need to be aware of? It's a 4.165 bore right now, thinking of buying it for around $1,000. Would be used in a large single turbo application.
thanks

Not quite as strong as the Dart stuff. It should hold up OK. Most of the bowtie stuff has straight 4 bolt caps. They still get a little cap walk under heavy loads.
