A skirted block- cross bolted would be the best way to go without a doubt, think New Century blocks like the BBC's have. A reasonable alternative would be a clamshell cross bolted girdle set up on an IA2 or KRE block - one that could also be fitted to a stock block, I can't imagine that it would be difficult to get one of these cast up at reasonable money. Cap walk and fretting would be a thing of the past. JMO.
