Cylinder Sleeves

I'm kind of suprised there are not more replies to your question, maybe it's because of holidays etc. There was a time not that far back when mostly all the "class" 396 Chevy racers were using 454 blocks sleeved down to make the req'd displacement. I guess that 396 racers are not as plentiful anymore.
Personally I have raced with a sleeved block (one hole only) and have been satisfied with the results. (also a BB Chevy).
