Was never built on top of V8 in any shape of form. Dart VM does not even share any code with V8.

Dart 1 was designed by people who originally started V8 (Lars Bak and Kasper Lund), that's the only connection.

Seems I too may be misremembering as well, I do know there used to be a custom Chromium build that included a Dart runtime so I assumed that was why v8 was used. But I remember now, there was an original effort to include dart in Chrome which met no fanfare.
