[QUOTE="Klaus, post: 16113942, member: 190070"] I went from 5.4 to 5.8. The reason for sleeving is that you cannot use new pistons with the spray on cylinder liners. I was doing full build and switching pistons and so had to sleeve. Since I was sleeving I punched it out to 5.8. I should note that these liners are super thin - my block only had 13k miles on it and the spray was pretty worn in two of my cylinders. Did you discuss with MMR? When considering my motor build I discussed with both L&M and JDM. Neither will do mega HP builds with FE blocks. It is a misconception that the FE blocks are stronger than AL blocks. Here is a good discussion of this if you are interested: [URL="https://www.enginelabs.com/features/clearing-up-mod-motor-misconceptions-with-john-mihovetz/"]Clearing Up Mod Motor Misconceptions With John Mihovetz[/URL] [/QUOTE]
