I have another block. It?s in the car that I?m building this engine for. BUT! I would have to pull it, tear it down, have it bored , (if it?s worth saving) have the cam bearings and expansion plugs replaced, do the work involved in clearancing for the roller lifters, and all of the other little details that have already been done to this block.
Add to that the fact that I don?t know how square that block is or if it?s core shifted and that all of that would come out to over half of what I?ll spend having this one sleeved. And then there?s the extra labor and time involved in getting it all done!
Yeah! I sat up a couple of nights, thinking about all of that! I can easily sell the other one as a complete assembly to offset more of the expense as well.
When I?m done with this one, it?ll be about as bulletproof as I can make one! Talk about blueprinted!!
