Tod's explanation

"Just in case some people want to know...the sleeves are not in this yet. The sleeves are flanged at the top .100 thick and the block is recessed .097 to allow for standard crush/expansion and whatever else goes on with sleeved aluminum blocks. I am leaving the sleeves out for the show in Columbus (All Ford Swap Meet, Columbus Ohio, April 2 & 3) so people can see what's behind the iron sleeves. The sleeve OD is 4.25 and there is another .100 or so of metal behind the sleeves. That gives you an idea of how stout the iron will be.
