Few engines have left as profound of an impact on the world of performance as the 2J platform, and Dart has identified a significant void in a legendary inline-six performance platform's needs. Introducing a completely new and improved design over OEM blocks that promises to take the most popular sport compact platform in the world to the next level!
Designed from a clean slate approach the Iron Eagle block has addressed the shortcomings of the Toyota 2JZ platform and is the ideal candidate for hot rodders, drag racers, time attack competitors, drifters, and high performance street enthusiasts.
Based off the ever so popular OEM Toyota 2JZ engine platform, Dart has taken a proven engine block, and made it even better. Revising the main caps from the 2 bolt cap design, to a 4 bolt cap design on 1-6 caps. Dart has increased the crankcase strength, providing a block that will work in 2000HP+ applications. We did not stop there, we revised and increased the cylinder wall, block deck, and outer case wall thicknesses, to help eliminate any failures under high boost applications.
- Siamese cylinder bores with extra thick walls.
- Extra thick decks ensure a reliable head gasket seal.
- Extra thick outer block case for increased strength under high HP levels.
- Blind head bolt holes with 1/2" upgrade.
- Scalloped water jackets increase flow around the cylinders for better cooling.
- Machined Screw-In Freeze Plugs.
- Revised oil passage location for better flow and clearance with 94mm stroke.
- Machined for piston oilers.
- Can be machined for clearance for 94mm stroke w/ aluminum rods.
- 86mm Bore (88mm Max).
- Billet steel 4 bolt main caps 1-6, 12mm/10mm main studs standard.
- All OE bolt holes for starter, water pump, etc.

When initially removing the main caps, the caps and block should be deburred before reinstalling. This will ensure that
correct main size is maintained.
Additional rod clearance may be necessary at the bottoms of cylinders depending on the type of rod and stroke being used.
Mock is required to ensure proper rod to block clearances.
Head stud holes are blind, they do not insect the water jacket.
P1 TorquePoint Lube is recommended when installing the head and main studs into the block. Studs should never be
torqued into the block; they should only be lightly snugged.
Screw-in freeze plugs are provided.
Screw-in freeze plug part numbers: M33 Part# 32313000, M27 Part# 32312000
SPECIAL NOTE: With a multitude of different crank, rod, and piston combinations available its important to check
clearance of all moving parts (especially crankshaft counterweight to block) before attempting any type of assembly.
