I have to say that I am with Ron on the bore sizing. Given the restrictions of the block design I believe that 3 3/8 will be the comfortable maximum on this. With my intake ports, I doubt more than polishing will be necessary.

Well Tod don't push yourself too hard. People on a mission often do. Get back on your feet and feel better.
As far as 3 3/8" bores go that would be a Godsend as will the prospect of minimal necessary port work.
Wow honestly a new block could really touch a new wave of enthusiasts interested in Flathead Ford power.
The engine block itself has become the only major ingredient in an early Ford build that is in short supply.
I can truly imagine the possibility of a very nice and well thought out "crate" engine coming out of the existence of a new, high quality and repeatible engine block.
Very exciting when I play this out in my head.
