RickLee....you didn't mention why you need to sleeve #2&3 holes?
We sleeve FE blocks and if done correctly and with the right wall sleeves you have a good fix. My Midstates with its 427 has been running and racing since 1994 and I sleeved all 8 bores here at the shop. I'll reference you to an information page from last year....

Sleeving a block with a damaged bore is one thing as compared to sleeving to get the block back to a standard or slight overbore condition. Not all bores can be repaired with a sleeve....if the bore has a crack and it extends to high or to low in the bore then a sleeve may not be a solution that will work....
