Jim sounds like reasonable reason to be going with a new aftermarket blocks. I was just saying at your HP level i would not be worried about the block holding up. I think RPM International have forged steel 289 cranks for under $400. But they are meant for external balance. But some guys have internally balanced them.

I may give Mike a call to see what porting he has available for the old castings... of which I have a pair.
