Thread: Sleeve block back to standard bore, what do you think?

Tweet

Keep in mind those racing aluminum blocks with eight sleeves were built for sleeves. They have solid support top to bottom before the sleeves are put in. They don't have to be bored oversize for the sleeve.

Geezer2, I hear you man, and I am certainly not an authority on this subject. As Jerry says on the "RARE" block this is an option and that may very well be the only time. I'm saying it's an option and nothing else. But you know what I'm glad that it is an option.

i AM I AM THE SLEEVE KING OR... KING OF THE SLEEVES

I had my 400 bored .030, with 64cc heads with clean up cut on them. I had it in my '68 El Camino with a 6 cyl rad with a th350 tranny cooled by the in rad cooler. It never got more than 210 when it was 100 degs out, at a stop light. I also didn't have a fan shroud
