lol, goodluck getting anything other then scrap for it. gotta rebore with that rust and good chance youll end up having to go too far…not worth it to resleeve.

sorry but anyone that takes a chance on that block is risking losing money and time.

if you get no bites ill give ya 50 bucks for the block.

You can only safely bore an ls1 .010 over. The gen 1 (97-00) isn’t even good to sleeve due to poor rear oil passages.

It’d make a nice table.
