Most likely you can find another block for the price of sleeving all of them.... unless its a numbers matching block you are trying to save

Nothing wrong w/ a sleeve if done by a competent machine shop. As said before, it usualy costs around $100 per cylinder. If your block is good to go as is, then run it at .060" over for now. You can always sleeve it later. With what hemi blocks are going for now, I doubt very seriously you could find another block in better condition selling for less than it would cost you to sleeve all 8 cylinders on your current block. Another block will probably cost you atleast twice what you'd have in sleeving all 8 holes in your current block. CHIP
