If your talking about a sleeve being somewhat exposed to the coolant -yes , but only on a cylinder or two as a repair ------\\If your talking about doing all 8 with a deck plate added at the top for inforcement-no----If you need something bigger displacement the best thing to do these days is start with a Dart block with 4.125 bore--
Or are you talking about something else????? oringinal numbers restore?????????

Yes, it's a restore of a numbers matching 283 that has been rebuilt three times. We wat to sleeve it back to stock and keep it running. Darton makes wet sleeves where all 8 cylinders are exposed to the coolent (like a big rig diesel), but only for the LS blocks.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
