Sleeving all eight was a fairly normal but spendy deal for Super Stock racing. Using ductile iron sleeves and staggering the diameters - .090 wall and .125 wall - you ended up with a more rigid block and better ring seal. Done right a fully sleeved block is better not worse - but it ain't gonna be easy to convince the average buyer that it's true.
