The question I have is, is there a place I can buy a block with clearance already done, but without the rotating assembly? I'd actually like to build everything myself, personally, and buying a long block kind of robs me of that. Would also be good to be able to have my original block/rotating assembly as backup in case something goes wrong.
Competition products has blocks already machined, here is a link:

p.s. you can get most of the machine work done and balanced at a good machine shop for what these guys are asking for the bare block......
Enjoy!
