Default Darton Liners

Has anyone had any experience with Darton liners in an LS2? Not the MID ones just the standard liners. Also anyone have any issues with the liners and longer than 4" stroker cranks? If I line it I'd like to do a 454.

Jim, as you know, I've used many and the liners are stellar. Steve at RED does the sleeving for me and never one issue. The liners have fantastic wear characteristics and are super rigid.

The longer stroke to achieve 454 CI will be an issue at BDC and I am not sure the expense of the rotating assembly warrants the added cubes over a 4.155 bore /4.125 stroke / 448 CI combo.
