It's sounding like getting a different block or sleeving the one you have are your best options then.

Re: Chuck's Engine Build
AR Fabrication has recently figured out that sleeving an EG33 Block is just as easy as sleeving a 4 cylinder. I have sent my motor to them to sleeve. There will be a lot of other things done such as coatings to the pistons, porting and polishing of the heads and coatings. Everything else should be ready to assemble. I am also going the extra mile and having ARP main case bolts installed. ARP was able to work up a reasonable kit price for our engine. They will be taking photos as they progress with the project and I will post them as I get them in.

Re: Chuck's Engine Build
Chuck,
Can you define "reasonable" and provide a part number(s) for the kit? Thanks. -Bill

Basically howard has broken down a lot of motors after building them. He noticed friction on the block halves when running big HP on the 4 cyl motor. Bearings went. The bolts seem to raise this threashold considerably. He also had a lot more experience to share with me, which I will try to write up on some time again.
