Update... After taking the block to Wheelers and I believe just about everyone in the shop coming out to take a look, they all agreed that: 1) As many of you stated, the sleeve was set too deep in the block. That left the register too thin on the one side, and thus the small piece of the block...

That is 100% correct. The sleeve appears to have been pushed in too far and a piece of the block chipped off. This piece that chipped off is paper thin. RustyRatRod, thanks for the offer, I am taking the block to Wheelers machine shop downtown Macon tomorrow morning to have them inspect it. I...

Just walked out and looked at the combustion side of the cylinder and you guys are correct. It is definitely a sleeve. The motor was recently in the machine shop. It was bored to .040, mains were line bored and the short block was assembled by the machine shop. If they placed the sleeve in it...

I do not think it is a sleeve.. But I did kind of have that same thought when I first saw it. Of course anything is possible as I have not always owned this motor. Is there a tell tale sign that I can look for to see if this cylinder is sleeved? I do not see any obvious differences between this...

OK. So I have ordered the voodoo 60405 cam and lifter set and have that I need to have the machine shop put together the short block. One more question, is there any chance I can run the factory rocker setup with this cam and head setup? voodoo 60405 cam and edelbrock 60709 heads. I know I...

Thanks so much for all of the input. I see that I failed to mention the carb and intake, sorry. The intake is an Edelbrock Air Gap and the carb is a 750 Holley. My plans for the valve train will include a roller rocker setup, but I have not zeroed in on one particular manufacturer/model. As for...

Hey, I previously had this thread going in the Racers forum but decided to needed to be moved here as I plan to drive the car on the street WAY more than it will see any race track. I have ordered and received my kit from Race-Mart. The kit is the cast crank with the ICON forged pistons...
