I called ford racing earlier this week, no ETA. They advised if wanting a solution now, to call Darton
Good luck with that wait from darton, unless they are caught up.
My engine builder uses a local company for sleeves. He's also seen issues with the Sportsman block with the factory sleeves separating from the aluminum. The sleeves seem to be the weak link in the chain. When switching to an aftermarket sleeve the blocks have been standing up to some abuse. The FRPP big bore sleeve stands up pretty well on the Cobra Jet applications(Factory on the NA cars and some of the Blower cars have used the sleeves with their engine builders.) However FRPP has discontinued selling this sleeve. Livernois bought the last sleeves FRPP had in the warehouse.
MMR, Livernois, L&M, Holbrook and Bishchoff all offer a way to resleeve the block.
Bischoff is my engine builder and he custom orders everything he wants. Lead time is generally 3-4weeks from his supplier.
Darton FTW! Can't wait to see your beast with the new Turbos run!
My engine is headed over to MPR Racing Engines in Florida for some sleeves. He has done quite a few sleeve jobs as well. Soon we will see what more efficient turbos and big boost does in my setup
Wish I had some dough for fancy heads/cams but that'll have to wait for another year. I need to slow down on the cash outflow and save some upgrades for later down the road though so it works out. It is a bummer Ford didn't just come out with a cheap, strong, iron block that we could beat the crap out of and have it live. I'd take on some weight for cheap reliability.
Awesome man, MPR is the real deal. Tim builds some killer engines!! Can't wait to see your new and improved setup, although with it already going 165 in the florida heat, hard to imagine how fast it's going now!
