They'll all h old up just fine for N/A purposes. I have a GE sleeve in my block at 85.5mm, and I love it.

If i get another motor sleeved, it's going to Bensons.
currently, i have a GE block

Yes, benson's gets my vote..... $900

 

[94sol]

where did you get the quote for the Darton MID?

 

[posol]

this thread is OVER a year old.

i suggest you call around and see if prices are the same... because they probably aren't, or some places might not even be doing sleeves any more.

i read alot of good things about the darton mid. It looks like a good idea

 

[94sol]

Yeah I've been reading the same thing, but i'm having a hard time finding them for a decent price.

 

[tip]

what is a good price...........new to the game

 

[94sol]

well right know the cheapest i've found is 499 plus shipping, then 600 to install them

Where have you read that. I would like to read it. I looked at them but decided to use GE.

The darton has a small groove around the top and a series of small holes. I believe that this design will hold more heat and could possibly cause turbulance with the coolant.

The GE's on the other hand look to be more open at the top. I wish I could have got dimensional information on both of them. If so a calculation of surface area at the top of the sleeve could have been made and see if they are close or not. Picture wise I do not think so.
