Commander,

I haven't thought of that before (milling the skirts off another block) but it should work. You are right, it shouldn't be that hard to do as all you are doing is mounting it and cutting off the skirts level. You would, of course, have to line bore the block afterwards, but that isn't too much of a problem. It would certainly save weight.
