Someone on here espoused as to how they were going to bore the cylinders clear out and put in wet sleeves. He got as far as starting to bore the motor out, and we haven't heard from him since.
The big question is: How you gonna seal the wet sleeves at the bottom when you are cutting all the strength out of the block? I always figured you'd open yourself up to crank issues taking that much meat out of the block too. That thing is going to flex like a drunk stripper chasing $100 bills.
