Question:
I have a 350 in my truck and it is set up really good. After-market timming, cam, crank, heads. The whole nine. The guy I bought it from bored it +60, which is as far as you can go on a SBC. It droped a piston ring and scratched the cylinder. I don't really want to try and strip the entire motor and start from a fresh block. The motor was just assembled last year and all the parts are like new. I bought it as-is so he can't do anything. I would really just like to get this motor going till I save the money to build up another one. I have looked everywere and can't find sleeves. Help!!

No there is no temp. fix sleeve that you can buy to fix that problem. Besides that if you were going to "sleeve" an engine you might as well put in a block because your going to have to strip the engine almost all the way just to do that. You can probably find a 350 block almost anywhere in the world and for cheap. Tell you the truth if there was a sleeve kit I bet the block would be cheaper. "Sleeves" are only found in heavy duty diesel engine such as what you would find in a semi. I would suggest finding a block, a 400ci crank shaft and connecting rods take them all to your machinest and he'll take it from there. If it's an option tell him to balance your crankshaft and then get MSD pro billet ignition. You will crap yourself when you put the throttle down with that setup.IQ question (of sorts) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .?
yes you can resleeve a 350, but it might be cheaper to just buy another block from a junk yard and throw your parts on it. if you insist on resleeving check around at some local machine shops.Would it be a good idea to open a VW store?
Yes you can sleeve it, but it requires complete disassembly. It would probably be cheaper just to buy another block and bore it .060 and put all your parts in it.How can i make a 2002 v6 mustang have a more aggressive sound?
You need to get another block and keep the boring to a minimum.Boring adds very little horsepower,you need to worrie more about your stroke then the bore size if you wanna make power.Do they make a K/N air flow fo a 1996 blazer?
Go to an engine rebuilder in your area. This is not that complicated of a procedure, but remember if you have a lot of deniros into your motor you had better not cheap out here as it will cost you in the long run.More Questions & Answers ...
