Stock sleeves I was looking at thunder racing's website and seen the Darton Sleeves they have. It got me thinking.
IF I was to resleeve and bore it to a 4.000", how many cubes would the engine be? What about 4.060"?
I'm hoping when I take everything to the machine shop, I'll be able to use the stock sleeves. The engine does have ~90,000 miles on it. What do ya'll think will happen as far as using the stock sleeves? I've read that the 98' LS1 block cannot be bored over .005". Please any input on this is deeply appreciated! Thanks.

Displacement = [(Bore * Bore * pie * Stroke)\4] * 8
The Darton setup must be done by qualified people with the proper machines. I recommend you have Steve @ Race Engineering at the right do your install into your block or MTI.
You can't use the stock sleeves and bore the aluminum block out to 4.000".

I know, I was talking about the Darton Sleeves. I was wanting to know if I could still use the stock sleeves w/o honing and just having it re-crosshatched?
You'll have to have your machinist check to be sure that the stock pistons w/new rings can still be utilized in the new, slightly larger bore.
