Re: Who does the best blocks??.I heard Katech... There's also the Darton sleeve design that Cartek www.cartek.net deals with.
And what about the actual C5R block?
Is Katech the only one who manufactures/sells it?

Re: Who does the best blocks??.I heard Katech... pssst... Katech buys their C5-R blocks from Scoggin-Dickey, our exclusive GM Parts Sponsor:
Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center
Give them a call if you need something not listed on their page. They sell all of the GM parts since they are a dealership.

Re: Who does the best blocks??.I heard Katech... There's a big difference between sleeving an Alum BBC block and a 'nimble' LS1 Block don't forget! We have a completly different process in re-sleeving an LS1 versus any other blocks...
