keepin mind that 351m/400 are totally interchangeable, as well as by going more than +0.030 or +0.040 the cylinder walls get thinner and heating is more apt to become an issue.

IMHO, if you have a block that has not really been abused or damaged, then keep it. When you buy a block from someone else, you don't know the history...it can cost you as much if not more than sleeving all 8 cylinders....... keep with what you know.
