Mopar 400 block 8 sleeves

I just had 3 put in my 440, was it right, eh, maybe not I'm at 800.00 with my 69 440 engine. That was in So Cal America. So 250 for block and hot tank, magflux, decking, cam bearings, oil plugs, 3 sleeves and bore .40 over. And I'm still at possible line bore, piston fit, freeze plugs. Usually 120.00 per sleeve is what they charged me. I personally like the sleeves, I believe its stronger metal, would I have liked all sleeved, yes, not sure if cooling will be unequal, not worried anymore it is what it is yes not optimal in my book for price and practicallity. At the same time I had purchased another 440 stock block with rotating assy. And heads and all for same price as the 69 bare block beginners lessons i guess. This is just so you see the contrast in my dealings.
