$3,000 for the block
Then you got to bore it. Just say you want a 4.100 bore. That is .190" worth of boring. EXPENSIVE.
I would not spend that kind of money and still have 59 degree lifters with 1 7/8 lifter spacing unless I was dictated so by class rules. Just My Opinion.

if at all possible go 48*.... I was lucky when I bought my 48* siamese 9.20 block... it was new but I got it at the Indy swap meet... I still had to bore it, cam tunnel 50mm, mains and the cyl bores.... which they all need... but I only payed $800 for it

Well I have W5 heads that I'm using. Isn't there a way to use the W5 on a 48*? or do I need to stick with 58. Thanks
I believe Ryan J (SDSS) has done a set of W-5s for 48*

The pushrods will stand a lot straighter with the 48 degree lifter setup. The only clearancing is in the bottom portion of the intake flange of the head. Otherwise there is actually more room when you go 48 degree.
