Is it worth it?

For the sleeve itself or for the cutting and installing or both?? If its both that is cheap.

It is usually the cost to bore the cylinder plus the cost of the sleeve. $80-$120.

I think after the sleeve is installed it needs to be decked hopefully it is not a matching number motor

Alss,

You can give Carl or Gary a call at Rogers Speed Shop in Garwood, NJ. They are an old time engine machine shop from back in the day. They do all my machine work. They are familiar with Olds engines, too. They built the W-31 engine in my buddy's Rallye 350 and it screams. Their inventory of BB Chevy parts is a sight to behold, as well.

To knock down any fears of running the hell out of a sleeved engine. I had a 427 BBC that was sleeved -- was in a dirt track stock car and had the hell ran out of it. The same car and engine were sold and raced before I lost track of where it went. TAZ

I agree. There is nothing wrong with running a sleeved block as long as they are installed and machine work is done correctly..

no fears..going to sleeve one cylinder on a block im using.

thanks for all the replies!!
