Capecreations21, don't give up. I remember when we where trying to find a machine shop to bore and sleeve a 5.9 cummins to take it to .0120 over. No one around here wanted to do it. They all said it wouldn't hold stock power levels let a lone 1200+hp. But we took it to a machine shop that specializes in tractor pulling engines and he got it done. And guess what? A lot of people are doing it now. I'm sure we weren't the first to do it. We stole the idea from my friend's friend who has a nasty super stock pulling tractor. Now a days guys are building deck plate engines and sleeving them to get them to hold the power. Mainly 6.7s. Apparently above 1800hp modified stock blocks can only take so much.
