If you're going to sleeve it, why not just buy a new bare block for 50 bucks?

Absolutely. If he's sleeving he doesn't need a perfect block. I helped a friend nab a C1 block for 40 bucks with cracked sleeves at the top. No rotating assy., no oil pump, water pump, etc, etc, but it was perfectly fine for sleeving.

I'm sure you can. I don't see why not.
