With the process we use it is virtually impossible to drop a sleeve or have a water leak.

hmmm I might be switching once I figure out if just pistons will be enough to make the switch from my Lunati stroker to a 434.
We had a few N2o misshaps over the years and replacing sleeves in a hole hear and there is not a problem either, just not under warranty :D . We do help out our customers with special pricing in these kind of situations :cheers:

Nice. I will probably wait til at least this summer. This might be a decent B-day present to myself at the end of the summer.
I havent been able to find anyone else offering a warranty on the block itself unless I was buying the whole shortblock from them.

I can personally vouch for the quality of ARE's Blocks. That is what I have been hammering in my beast with no problems. That is one great product :thumbs:

Thanks Major spray, we were weary of selling some one a resleeved block with a name like major spray :D Actually we have been hammering one a "little" harder in the Z28 for a few years now :auto: Hopefully you will have the first resleeved 8 sec. C5 :cheers: Keep hammering away :cheers:

Can these resleeved 427 engines be used as in a daily driver? I put 12K miles a year on my Z and it is my only car.
I feel quite confident that the stock LSx motors are bulletproof from my 2 years here on the forum. Can this be said of any of the 427 engines either the darton or the C5R block?
Thanks
Steve

We have a few over 30,000 miles and are daily drivers, even one in Australia with I think over 20,000 miles with no issues. The C5R block will have no issues on the street as a daily driver.
