Theres like a fist punch into the cylinder wall.. pieces of two of the pistons fell out of the pan when we took it off a long with some rods..broke the cam shaft, etc. Block cannot be used. It is a shame but I have to deal with it.

Go with the $100 cheapy for now, save the original block in a plastic bag in the garage, then down the road have it done. By the way, cool resto car!!!

I don't think its worth sleeving honestly. I'm going to go look at a motor tonight I beleive that I may be using for the swap. I'm going to pinks all out in bristol this weekend if anyones going. I was considering taking the red coupe but might play it safe by taking the supercharged honda daily driver lol...
