This looks like a great alternative to the iron-blocked 6 liter big-block

What are the sleeves made of? The picture looks deceiving since the sleeves look similar in color to the alumuinum block...

Can we get an approximate price for the sleeved block? Also do I need to supply you with a core, or a new factory block or is the unit sold "new"?

Is there a rotating assembly kit that you will also be selling?

How do you prevent compression ratios that are too high? I assume the added volume down below increases the compression ratio if you use heads with stock-sized chambers.

Julio,

Slightly off topic but do you have any idea if those LS1 C5 headers might fit other applications as well, like a C3?

Thanks

What are the small holes drilled around the sLeeves for? Coolant?

Very impressive looking. What would a 382 all bore short block cost?

Thanks.

Oh yeah I still have my Cartek clutch in the car that was installed last September...performs flawlessly! <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
