Anyone know of a source for a decent 400" block with thick enough cylinder walls to build another 470" stroker? Every block I've checked has at least one cylinder with thin spots. Best one I have is over .200" on all but one major thrust wall, & it checks at .169" before boring. That would leave me about .154". Help!

There is nothing wrong with sleeves provided they're done properly. A Hemi racer I know has 8 sleeves in his block -- on pupose.

If I was going to sleeve it I would do all 8 on purpose..
1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..
A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..
If you love someone set them free.. If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

If you where to sleeve it it would still be thinner when done than it is now
Can't you get thicker blanks?
And isn't ductile iron, while thinner at .125", much stronger than cast iron @ .160"?
