should be all about dollars. choose whichever shop can install them properly. 99.9% of sleeving is getting them aligned right.

also price the dart block against your sleeve job, sometimes it winds up being the smarter buy

I'm a fan of Golden Eagle and AEBS.

They seem to have the best reputation, from what I've read.

Some builders prefer the GEs, some the AEBS. You couldn't go wrong with either.

GE's warehouse is in CA, so shipping probably wouldn't be that big of a deal.

If your going to use the B18 block why not use a set of Darton installed Darton M.I.D. sleeves?

get a dart tall deck...contact endyn they do all the prep work...if you keep the 89mm stroke you can get an rs ration like a b16 and be able to rev it to the moon reliably...if your going allmotor ...i just got my turbo built dart back and they told me the block machines nice and straight from top to bottom which = better ring seal....with the tall deck yo can also have a 92mm stroke and still be able to rev to 8.5k or 9k and make more power cause of the bigger stroke...95% of all motor build can do find with a b20 block bored out but since your gonna spend the money for sleeves at least do the math and you can sell your b18 c and thats the differnce that the dart will cost...if not get the block posted and get it bored to 84.5 and on a b20 and you should be fine..
