Have you thought about Bill Mitchell Products aluminum blocks? Anyone here having experience with that block??

Myself and 440jim have BMP Aluminum blocks. I spent about $1,000 to prep the block. It took a lot of honing to get to 4.500. Line hone to touch up one main. I need to relieve the block a bit on #8, so there is more room for the roller lifter tie bar. So far I am happy with what I see. I have been held up on this project by health issues. I can get back to it soon if all goes well.
