My luck though, right after I said it one would have pulled up in the parking lot with a 350 in it LOL. Either way, I've still got to get away from the 350 so I can use my sportsman II's I've been sitting on for a while. I really wanted to sleeve the 400 because I have access to the equiptment to sleeve the block myself, someone to help me do it right, and I already have the sleeves. So at this point there would be no cost to have standard block. That still doesn't justify it though if it's a pile of junk when it's done. Oh, one of you talked about sleeves being loose? How? Aren't they installed a slight interference fit? Wouldn't they have to shrink to get loose?
