There is absolutely nothing wrong with sleeving a block. If you have a good block that has not been blown up or windowed and passes mag test, I would not hesitate to put in 8 sleeves and run the heck out of it. It will be stronger than before and the sleeves will be better material than was in the bores to start with. Be sure to let a good shop install the sleeves..... properly installed sleeves will serve flawlessly, poorly installed sleeves will forever cause problems. Put in BBC 4.25" bore sleeves so you can have good choice of pistons / rings. If you end up not using the block, please let me know.
