Aren't the placement of the head studs closer together on the 265s and 310s? I'm not sure if you can fit the 350 sleeve in there.

michael you could be right. now that you mention it i think i have heard that there was some difference. but i thought the 310 and the 330 cylinders were the same. i would assume the 330 is the same as the 350. maybe its just the 265 thats different.

We'll have to get Neil to chime in here. The o'ring grooves could be different as well.

Resleeving to a bigger sleeve in a Pro-x cylinder depends on where the head studs are located & size (DIA) of the o ring grooves.
The 250/265 non pv cylinder castings are the same, 250/265 pv cylinders are different from non pv. 310/330/350 are same casting, just different head stud location & o ring groove sizes for each STD bore size. 310/330/350 pv cylinder castings are different than non pv cylinders.

I dont think the 265 could be made into a 350, unless some heavy machining & welding was done. For one, like where the head studs are located now, those holes would need filling in & moved to the outside farther away from the bore. O ring groove in the casting would need welding up & deck re-machined flat.
Inner o ring groove, no problem because its located in the top on the sleeve itself.
Now, once thats all done & you have the bigger sleeve in place, now the portings all off from what it was before & will need to be reset to your likeing so thats a port job.
After its all done, welding, machining, taking what you have & turning it into another size, 265 up to a 350, you now have over $2,000.00 or more into a used cylinder that you could have bought brand new for around $1200.00.
It can be done though.
If you can do welding & machining, thats a big cost savings.
