Re: Ok its official Diesels are sleeved all the time. Never herd of someone doing a 3800 tho. Probally end up costing more than the short block.

Also Ed has many other options for replacing your block. You can probably send him a message through eBay and ask him if he has any blocks available. He will get you the best possible and everyone in the GP community knows Ed. He is one of the few stand up guys sellings good used GP parts!
