Tom ,
It sounds like you know your nailheads , maybe I could lean on you for a little advice as I get closer to this engine build .
I will probably start on both these engines this fall , one for my 65 gs and the other for 59 buick .

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me . As hard as it is getting to find a good block I want to make sure and do it right .

Tom T is one of those rare treasures who not only knows his nail heads, but is more than willing to share that information with others.   

I vividly remember him riding around in a golf cart with me at a BPG event several years ago sharing some of his vast knowledge. Feel free to call and ask for his help.

John, lots of blocks are discarded for one reason or another. Many of these blocks ARE repairable with the more modern technology available today.

Has anyone looked into sleeving one of these blocks or is that not possible ?

Have sleeved a few, but you MUST sonic test 1st. Also repaired cracks in blocks & heads WITHOUT welding. With the technology that's available today more things are repairable.
