I doubt you could bore a block for 8.00 a hole today. I think most of those engines were worn beyond the limits to not have to sleeve when they were shot. The block was to thin to bore without getting into the water jackets I think I heard something about back in the day. The later ones had sleeves in so resleeving was possible on them. Also was like a Detroit no lugging with out consequences. Just didn't have the torque for it. The inline 6 engines would pull better with few problems. Though I have heard the 3306 didn't stand up well in those tractors. I would believe it is due to it being pushed to it's upper limits to make the 260-270 hp where the 3406 was set to run from 280-460hp easily. With some I am sure running close to 600hp.
