I'm looking at those erl motors for my future build.. just wondering how streetable really is the shortblock since they are resleeved? Will they hold up for a long period of time n/a like for daily usage ?

I can't yet answer this question first hand but I have no reason to think the ERL resleeved block will not be reliable. Resleeving is common with this engine platform and the ductile iron sleeves are 3 times stronger than cast iron. I'm definitely expecting mine to hold up for a long time. Maybe someone that has put some [street] miles on one will chime in.

I've been talking to Bob Hanlon at Hanlon Motorsports about transmission, clutch, crossmember and driveshaft. Ordered a custom bellhousing from QuickTime to bolt LS engine to the Ford T56. Since the trans has provisions for a clutch fork and throwout bearing, I'll be using a cable operated clutch which I prefer over hydraulic. Clutch will be a Ram twin disc.
