I know of a local dirt tracker racer here that races in a top division.... He runs chebbys (sorry),buys brand spanking new bow-tie blocks (Small block),brings them straight to the machinist and has them sleeve all 8 cylinders on a brand new block!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Then orders 16 standard bore sleeves and pistons,claims it is easier when he has trouble,pop in a new sleeve and piston,been doing this for years and he is a top racer in his division....Machinist still can not believe this guy when he brings in a new block for sleeving.

Do not know how a small block bowtie compares to a big block ford when it comes to sleeving,but most blocks can be sleeved in all cylinders..... For a street motor this should be fine.....
