We started to push water in our 440 last year but didnt realize how bad. Ended up cracking the block broke a valve and destroyed a piston. We are thinking about getting it sleeved instead of looking for another block. Any thoughts??
To sleeve or not to sleeve

depends on how much money you have In the block.

Depends where it cracked.. if it went over an edge onto a deck... or below a cylinder into the case.
personally, I don't sleeve rb mopars as general practise. NOT saying it can not be done, just saying I don't do it much anymore as power outputs keep rising.

Its a 77 block just had the normal stuff done at the machine shop. Not alot of money in it. We are gonna take it out in the spring but can see 2 cracks down one bore already, there could be more. These blocks are getting hard to find.
