Dry Sleeving an Iron Block?

Can a 6.0 iron block be dry-sleeved (4.125") and about how much $$$ would that run?

I'm not sure if you can dry sleeve an iron block. Believe installing dry sleeves in an aluminum block is around $2K or so, wet sleeves significantly more.

Might be cheaper overall to get a bow tie LSX block.

ive heard that its not optimal to dry sleeve an iron block, mostly the process is used for alum blocks. 6.0 can go to 4.06 bore though. and 414ci with 4.00 stroke.
