It's $2099 for the iron block rebuild kit. Give me a call 732-780-0770 or email me direct at [email protected] I'll give you a break down and options.

The iron blocks have sleeves?

Well not sleeves I meant the Cylinder walls. The factory thickness ranges from .170"-.220" they are not very consistent and vary from cylinder to cylinder so this can be a problem at higher power levels as the walls start to distort.
I always hated that consistency, but it's just proof of the block's design roots.
Jim, what are the power ratings for the 11-12 pistons? I have a long term goal of getting to 1000 crank hp with approx 850-900 whp. Likely will be going the TVS 2 2.65L route when available with Water/Methanol Injection.
My hope is that ill be able to just do rods, crank sprocket and oil pump gears at that time, leaving cams for later should i choose to upgrade them.

I can tell you the 2010 pistons will not do it. I just lost one at 715whp.

The stock pistons can handle a decent amount of power probably what your looking at doing but if you go back to the top of this thread and read my first response you'll see exactly what you need to do.
Pistons are the same between all years I believe. But it depends. I had a set holding 750whp for 50,000 miles. Evenetually melted 3. Put another factory shortblock in, now making 850-900 wheel with no issues (yet). Also not spinning it past 6,000 RPM though. I am going to be building the original block out of my car this winter though, so I can more safely turn it up with bigger turbos in the spring.
