You mean cylinder walls? If so, they look a lot closer to .040" thick than 40" thick in the pictures.

Also, the sleeve strength is greatly increased by encasing each sleeve with ¼ inch of aluminum, far more than the stocker.

What car that this engine can be fitted to that has enough tire to actually hook up that kinda power?

Maybe NSX?? Possibly S2000??? I can't think of any other Hondas that could take it.

I doubt the standard B-series cars' (Civic, Integra) chassis could take that kind of power.

civics can easily handle that much power

Really? A FWD car like the civic can handle 1000HP without gutting it?

Without a doubt ;)

that motor would have to push somewhere over 40-45psi of boost to even get close to 1000HP. that kind of goal is really high, unreasonably high.

The Venom drag Civic already pushes 800HP. Anyway, Per Eklund's Pike Peak car (a Saab, admittedly) does 45psi and got 900HP out of 2L. A VW also has done 45psi.

Not unheard of.

According to Tom, racers and rodders who want to modify a stock block to make serious power usually spend in the neighborhood of $2500 to well past $3000 just to make their blocks about half as strong as the all new, $2000 Payn/Dart block. You don?t have to hit the machine shop and have the block Frankensteined, just call Tom. The block can be ordered through Payn Technologies @ 248-362-0283 or through any of Dart?s distributors

Here?s a list of attributes for the new piece straight from the horses? mouth at Dart.
(http://www.dartheads.com )

Dart B18 block has stock deck height, standard 81.5mm bore, optional 84.5mm bore.
Dart B20+ block has extra-tall 8.900" (226mm) deck height, 84.5mm bore for
increased displacement.
Manufactured from aerospace quality C355-T6 virgin aluminum alloy for maximum strength and durability.
Replaceable ductile iron dry sleeves are fully supported to reduce bore distortion and enhance ring seal.
Closed deck design increases rigidity and improves head gasket sealing.
Steel main caps with high-strength bolts increase bottom end strength and minimize bearing bore distortion.
Extra large water jackets increase coolant circulation around cylinders.
Standard piston oil sprayers reduce piston temperatures to extend life and prevent detonation.
Dart blocks use stock components, including oil pan, oil pump, water pump,
alternator, and timing belt tensioner
