Advice on stroker build with cracked cylinder

Easy to say if you can afford to pay for mistakes! I'm not as financially well off as most people playing with these toys. Ive had to save for years to do this so I damn well want to be sure I make the right decision. But thanks for your 2 cents anyway champ!

Ha! Me and you both. I just finished a 396 Chevy short block. From block #2. Block #1 was cracked in a cylinder. Had it not been cracked in TWO more places by a freeze plug, I would have sleeved it. It was cracked in a cylinder almost identical to yours. I would have sleeved it and never thought about it again! You're losin too much sleep over this, trust me. Just sleeve it and you will be fine. It will be a nice motor.
