How bad is it broken? If it is just cracked, a machine shop can probably over-bore the cylinder and install a “permanent” sleeve that they can machine to fit the regular replaceable sleeve. I have a 560 Diesel that has two of them done that way.

I’m not real thrilled about turning engine blocks into boat anchors or new cars unless they are actually in pieces. Technology and metallurgy move on giving us possible solutions in the future for what seem like insurmountable problems now.

If it’s in pieces, maybe you can use it to mount something like a drill press on and use for a conversation piece?
