It would be like trying to replace the tank on your air compressor with a grocery bag. I would go with 84mm.

the sleeves on an ls are stronger than a b20 anyways. From what i have heard, a b20 is basically an ls bored to 2.0. I heard they are real weak sleeves. So this is a dumb question. an ls is stronger than b20 stock.

Pretty sure this is correct...just more metal taken off = thinner cylinder walls.

even when sleeving a b18 or b20 block. the b18 is better to sleeve due to the material and the way the cylinders are made.

Cheaper too, to sleeve a b18a block rather than a b20 block.
