A sleeve is most certainly a solution to fix that cylinder, my concern would be that the overbore has resulted in more than just the one cylinder having a thin wall, so it may be just a matter of time before you are into a full rebuild. It's good that you caught the #5 cylinder crack early, you may not be as lucky next time once it is being driven. That could result in a catastrophic failure and require all new internals that may be reusable right now.
As you need to remove the engine and tear it down for the sleeve, I'd have it sonic checked at a minimum. From what I have heard finding good core blocks is a challenge these days, unless you want to lay down some serious mullah for one of the more bulletproof aftermarket blocks.

Question for the fellow owners?
the project I purchased came with a fully rebuilt 351c engine . I dynoed it and it was fine at 7000rpms producing some 545 HP
after installation it turns out cyl. #5 has a crack in the cyl. into the cooling system ! so would one sleeve that cylinder ? all were bored to 4.035 on rebuild.
or replace the block with cast steel or aluminum block?

May be of interest for long-time members from England - I found this video
of the DeTomaso Driver's Club sponsored track day at Castle Combe.
It's a digitalized video made from a VHS videotape. It's a little
Lambo-centric, but there's a Ric Lee interview around minute 34. Only got a
quick view of the white Pantera GT5 but it looks like Geoff Peters' license
plate - did it used to be white?

Plate GTS 5W ?
White? Yes. Back when new in GB...
It was first used by Lewis Collins in the 1970's show, "Cuckoo Waltz".
But there is a big gap (1980-1990s) in the registry history for this car.
If you can send me a still frame photo (jpg preferred) I can add it to the entry.
Even take just a camera pic or screen snap of your display might work.

I've been watching this Headlight thread "flash" by, quietly wondering
if anyone worries about dying in the head-on caused by cauterizing the
retinas of the oncoming driver.
Jeff touched on this point.
I admit to having drop-in halogen replacements though.

Dave,
I agree with you 100% for driving lights, but when you click on the high
beams all bets off. If you're not cooking the deer that runs into you high
beams, you need more power!

Chuck,
The car was owned my Mike Miller at the time. He converted it from euro GTS to GT5 spec. He sold it to Geoff Peters after 10 years or so, bought a project Pantera from the USA which is now being converted to RHD and Gr4 spec. Photos of that car are in the registry.
I will get mike to send you some images of the white car when he owned it....

End of DeTomaso Digest, Vol 151, Issue 5
****************************************

A sleeve is most certainly a solution to fix that cylinder, my concern
would be that the overbore has resulted in more than just the one
cylinder having a thin wall, so it may be just a matter of time before
you are into a full rebuild. It's good that you caught the #5 cylinder
crack early, you may not be as lucky next time once it is being driven.
That could result in a catastrophic failure and require all new
internals that may be reusable right now.
As you need to remove the engine and tear it down for the sleeve, I'd
have it sonic checked at a minimum. From what I have heard finding good
core blocks is a challenge these days, unless you want to lay down some
serious mullah for one of the more bulletproof aftermarket blocks.

Question for the fellow owners?
the project I purchased came with a fully rebuilt 351c engine . I
dynoed it and it was fine at 7000rpms producing some 545 HP
after installation it turns out cyl. #5 has a crack in the cyl. into
the cooling system ! so would one sleeve that cylinder ? all were
bored to 4.035 on rebuild.
or replace the block with cast steel or aluminum block?

May be of interest for long-time members from England - I found this
video
of the DeTomaso Driver's Club sponsored track day at Castle Combe.
It's a digitalized video made from a VHS videotape. It's a little
Lambo-centric, but there's a Ric Lee interview around minute 34. Only
got a
quick view of the white Pantera GT5 but it looks like Geoff Peters'
license
plate - did it used to be white?

Plate GTS 5W ?
White? Yes. Back when new in GB...
It was first used by Lewis Collins in the 1970's show, "Cuckoo Waltz".
But there is a big gap (1980-1990s) in the registry history for this
car.
If you can send me a still frame photo (jpg preferred) I can add it to

Even take just a camera pic or screen snap of your display might work.

I've been watching this Headlight thread "flash" by, quietly wondering
if anyone worries about dying in the head-on caused by cauterizing the
retinas of the oncoming driver.
Jeff touched on this point.
I admit to having drop-in halogen replacements though.

Dave,
I agree with you 100% for driving lights, but when you click on the
high
beams all bets off. If you're not cooking the deer that runs into you
high
beams, you need more power!

Jeff touched on this point.
I admit to having drop-in halogen replacements though.

Chuck,
The car was owned my Mike Miller at the time. He converted it from euro
GTS to GT5 spec. He sold it to Geoff Peters after 10 years or so,
bought a project Pantera from the USA which is now being converted to
RHD and Gr4 spec. Photos of that car are in the registry.
I will get mike to send you some images of the white car when he owned
it....
