You may have the engine block used on the Super C's. Look for this casting number 354898R1 as the sleeve diameter measure 3.4375" at the seal and the overall length is 7.060" used in this block. Measure the old sleeves and see if they have the same measurements. Hal
PS: You can install an overbore kit in this block without any machining to the block using 3.250" pistons & sleeves.

The new sleeves need to match the old ones that were in there just take the measurements and order new ones.

I assume you mean 310000 and 350000. If so you need sleeves for a block with the part number 354898 with an R suffix followed by some number. 354898 R- is cast in the block on the right side. To double check measure the bore diameter at the groove for the sleeve (NOT in the groove, outside of it)-should be 3 7/16 or 3.4375, to make sure someone has not bored it further. It takes 3.25 inch diameter pistons. Also make sure the gasket kit is for an engine without a water pump.
