the plan is to have a block that will be in the middle of stock and a zzp block..

 

That's what these sleeves will be perfect for.

 

have John get 2.4 sleeves made for you, run 2.4 crank and rods with a 86mm bore

your block will be insanely strong without spending a fortune

 

i want a 2.4 goin back to 86 will be 2.3...
if i break somethin ill get another block an try again...

 

2.5 was the original plan but i don't want to bore the block after cutting one apart...u would be surprised wat it looks like...johns sleeves should add alot of strength to help.

 

Any word on the cost? I keep seeing it cost less then other options.

 

ZZP Girdle using your own block:

$1000 girdle
$175 freight return (x2) to business addy
$100 Main bearings and seals

$1450 your block, USA shipping included

Add $500 for a LSJ core and subtract $175 for shipping to ZZP

$1775 ZZP core block, USA shipping included

TTY main bolts included, (20 X $3.25 and 10 X $5.25 =$117.50) those are CED prices btw

It will be interesting to see what the total cost of these sleeves installed is exactly,

Cost of sleeves
Install and hone deck and rebore machining
$117.50 TTY main bolts
$100 Main Bearings and seals
Shipping charges

My automotive machinist here, a 40 year guy charges $80 an hour and doesn't give deals but does A1 quality work, no corners cut. Someone already posted $125 per cylinder for press fit and rebore, that is $500 for machining alone.

Blue, if Mr.B is willing I'd ship him the upper portion of your block and have him do the work. When I trashed my block I cut it into scrap and total weight aluminum only including head was 119lbs, upper portion is 40lbs at most and can be boxed up pretty easy.

 

with these sleeves u can also get the cylinder bore perfectly in line with the crank...which is also good for power and reliability..

 

lol i have to...



nice job on the upgraded sleeves, OP.

 

awsome ive done a couple of those

 

Way ahead of way haha. The downfall if I was to get a girdled block from ZZP is I wouldn't get any core charge for my block. It's f'd. I blew it up good. So add another $500 for no core.

 

Got one better haha

 

the one in my sig is better then both of yours

it broke at 7700 rpm

 

Holy crap lol

 

LOL yea that one got seriously messed up! haha

my picture really isnt "mine" i stole it off google

no need for sleeves with me, ive got a good ole iron boat anchor quad 4.

 

Is there a way to get ahold of a set of these? I'm building a motor for a turbo swap next year and I want to resleeve the block and darton seems to be the only aftermarket replacement until now

 

pm Mrb...im sure he can hook u up

 

man lil duck tape fix that **** right up.

 

If you could do that for me that would be swell. Would save me that hassle of having to build my motor haha.

 

I deleted mine.

 

thanks

 

guys, if your going to report a post, dont feed into it, then report it...

 

I apologize, wasn't trying to start crap that's why I didn't name names. Just a general rule of thumb.

These sleeves sound very promising. If I ever need a build ill def be looking in this direction. Girdled block is great but seems overkill for most ppl.

 

might as well post my blown sleeve, Puked the wall into my intake manifold, lol. My turbo was unscathed for the second time.

 

well count me in, just got off the phone with mrbelvidere, and my block will be on its way to you tomorrow. Thank you sir.
