I believe that ARE charges about $2300 to $2600 for the block bored, honed, decked, debured, and ready to assemble. Core required.

You really want to make sure whoever is doing the sleeving knows the right way to do the sleeve for an LS1. Otherwise coolant leaks have been know to happen if a liner shifts or isn't perfect later on.

Even the very top notch tuners have had an issue or two with the resleeves.
