On mine the block came ready for 50mm roller bearings, ruff bored to 4.120", and the mains were bored but needed to be line honed. The lifter bores looked great and would work with the 50mm cam.The deck was ruff machined.

So bottom line you would need the block to be decked, line honed and the bores honed to 4.125". Not a lot of work if you ask me.
