Golden Eagle ftw. bought from import parts $950 for ls block +$150 bored to 84mm.

 

Nah... Reid did final machine of the block. Kaizen uses Benson sleeved blocks.

Got the block sleeved through 1320 and GE.

 

I have the spare block, I would like to have the sleeves in it for about $500, dart's "dry-flanged" sleeves run about $250 and my machinist said he charges $250 to sleeve 4cyl's. So unless I can get another brand for cheaper, i'll be getting the darton sleeves.

 

or you could just have a stock sleeved spare block on standby- and why cant a regular machine shop do it, it doesnt look that hard for someone who knows what the hell he is doing?

 

I'll keep my current vitara/scatt/ARP engine as a spare. Still not sure as to dry vs. wet. no big hurry but i'd like to have another build done this summer. I still have to call dart.

 

Never heard a bad thing about Benson sleeving... but then again http://cheapturbo.stores.yahoo.net/hocid16sous.html used GE sleeves.

 

Does anyone know a good place to have this done on the east coast?

 

erl performance

 

Where are they located? I really don't want to ship it out.
