Do you have a problem with GE? I am not trying to flame you or anything, but I have shipped over 30 blocks to them in the last six months. The quality is top notch, customer service is outstanding, and their turn around time is awesome!
I had a block done out at Benson's, (This is my opinion based on my exerperiences.) It took over 4 months, and when it came back, there were huge gaps between the cylinder walls. The sleeves were all installed at different heights. (Which I did not understand since they were welded together!) I wished I would have take pics to show you guys, but when I asked to have them replaced, I was told I got what I paid for and the replacement would be full price. If they are cleaning up their act, they have a long way to go.
I am not here to down anyone's company, but just give you insight to what I have been through before. GE was completely different from any other company I had dealt with before.

My friend had a ITR block sleeved by Benson, but never installed it after hearing of their poor service. He later sold the block and the person who bought it installed it and ran it for a month until it blew. Guess he missed that bullet....sucks for the dude who got it though.
It's not that I dont like GE. I was just looking at my options. I just did not realize that I have to send them the block. I was looking to buy the parts and then have a local shop install them. How much would it cost to ship the block, and how long would it take. I want my car back soon!
Benson's has been talking about cleaning up their act for years now. They never have.
RS Motorworks, GE, Darton, and AEBS are the only reputable sleevers I know, and the only one's I've dealt with directly is GE. Indirectly, Darton and RS motorworks are very good as well.

Bensons has cleaned up their act as of a few years. He has fired all but one worker and does all his own work again. I run his blocks with not one problem with 30+ pounds of boost. Im sure other brands may work as well...but I will NEVER switch from running benson sleeves even for money.....Mike
