When you go looking for a new block, make sure you ask for and get the right block. keep in mind that you have the 160 cubic inch 235 block. The early blocks were 149 cubic inch and your internals/heads won't fit on these.

What did you damage|??? Post a picture as replacing sleeve is really not a DIY repair. Depending on damage it can be repaired, the only blocks I cant repair are the ones with damage thru crankcase flange or certain area into internal water passages.
