ERL Dry Sleeve Blocks - 4.185 ?
I have a 416 LS3 in my GTO right now.
I am thinking about sending the block out to ERL for thier 4.185 dry sleeves.
Reuse my Callies Crank and Rods. Just need new pistons.
Be a relatively cheap way to add some more bore cubes. (454ci)
What are the downside to dry sleeves ? Especially 4.185" in a LS3.
The car is NA only.
Thanks
Matt

A 200 shot is pretty hefty on that thin of a gasket. we have a little over .080 wall thickness per side of each cylinder so it's not the sleeve so much as it's how thin the head gasket is getting. Our sleeves are still a 5.800 sleeve length so you will be fine with a 4.125 stroke crank.
