I contacted Darton in California and was directed to Darton East, in Virginia. "The cost for installing your supplied sleeves in your block is $1375. This does not include CNC Bore and Hone with Torque Plate, which is an additional $800. If you would like us to do these procedures as well, you...

This article. Yeah about Jason T's 2012 GT500 build www.hotrod.com/articles/add-darton-sleeves-to-2011-and-up-shelby-gt500-engine-block/amp/ Anyway... I read the article and wanted to build a strong aluminum block. After seeing consensus that the aluminum isn't good for much over 1200hp and...

Jim, do you go .080 over on the dry sleeve? Without doing the math (lol) What displacement does that overbore give you? Given the overbore potential of MID sleeves, is there an ideal bore size for the 5.4 with GT heads (to unshroud the valves etc)?

I took the Darton part number listed in the Hotrod article about sleeving the 11-12 GT500 and ordered. The article was showing the installation of dry sleeves. I think I could return them, but I haven't made up my mind yet.... lol I wrote Darton to see if they had a recommended installer in...

It's about twice the price to install these over the dry sleeves. Pros, from what I've read: They can correct core shift from the original casting and you are able to increase bore size and still have meaty cylinder walls. The iron sleeves surrounded by coolant, can expand at their own rate...

I've got my block at Livernois right now. I ordered a set of sleeves for it, tgat I thought were dry. But they turned out to be Darton MID wet sleeves. Livernois just called to confirm that I wanted them to install these sleeves, as they would be fairly expensive to do...

What are the pros and cons of using wet sleeves (MID) in the 2011-12 5.4 aluminum block?

Looking for a front cover. GT500

It seems that FRPP has stopped producing the CJ crankshaft. And, IF you can find one, they're going for about $900 new! For that price, are there better options? ModMax has a 4340 forged crank for $829 and MMR has a couple of options too in the same price range. Are there and positives to...

Thanks for the replies!

I tried searching the forum and even Google searched... Any one know the correct ARP part number for main studs for a 2012? This one? The Official ARP Web Site | Kits Thanks!!
