It has Darton MID sleeves, line hone and decked, rough bored to 4.115 and can go up to 4.165. ARP main hardware

Any thoughts on using this for a big cube all motor setup?

Do it. But get the block from the man who designed the sleeve, Steve at RED.

Order 66

Compstar/Callies is who Darton recommends.

Looked at you pictures. Are those damaged pistons from the 427?

What kind of power are you putting down?

That may be who they reccomend, but Steve is the co-developer of the sleeve. Who better to install the sleeve than the man who developed it? Steve has all the know how, tools, and proper time/machinery to do the job correctlly. Not to mention the same block is probablly a little cheaper through steve since he gives us LS-1 tech guys a pretty good deal. He's doing my LS-2 block now.

If you're going to go that route, use Steve at RED... he's the ONLY man IMO to do these sleeves. Hell of a good guy as well.

If I were you, I'd get in line for a World Products block. By the time you pay for a block, sleeves, machine work, billet caps, studs... to do the Darton block, you could have pretty much paid for the WP block, which should still be superior. Not to mention the resale value will likely be much higher with the WP block given most people are scared of the Darton resleeved blocks since they've had so many issues. You also have more room for growth with the WP block as well, not to mention the the WP block has the 6 bolts/cylinder and beefer casting.
