Diluting an already small market could lead to vendors stopping production of proven and needed products due to declining sales. Stock blocks can hold over 650hp and are still around. My 2 cents anyway.

Problem is you pay big for aftermarket blocks, then you bring them to a machine shop and spend another 1500- 2000 to get it ready.
I just looked at one in my machine shop, looks beautiful and will be good when done, but its costing the owner another $1500.
Even if they could make a bolt in besides the piston bore would help.
