For those here who may not be aware, YOU have just described the current projects being under-taken by TOD, a member here.
When you say...'ultimate' is 3 main B bottom , A block, that is not accurate tho.
Tod is making the A looking block with FIVE mains and that is the ultimate , IMV !
For those who care, and/or paying attn. to this type subject, Tod has already made a stock running Model A block (utube(?).
He has also made two experiment aluminum blocks modeled after the things that you want. First is an alum three main blk and the second is a five main alum version. Both are currently being worked.
At the same time, 5 main cast iron blk (tooling) being worked on.
