Damn! Those cyl walls are thick, what happened!? Fwiw these iron 5.3's can be bored over all the way to 3.905 ,if you need a sleeve its something that needs to be done by a good machinest, id get another block IIWY ! Now if your talking using Darton sleeves and boring out an alum block im sure it's very similar to the 5.7 except more material
