The castings in the video are fairly simple castings compared to a flathead block. A flathead is a very difficult cast. I am sure they (are a lot of others) could do it if they wanted to extend the effort, but it would be very difficult to be cost effective!
During my high school years I worked at a foundry. I would shift weights during the pours and also the clean up after the pours. The guy at the belt sanding the casting brought back memories! |

With the 3D printers of today and watching how easy it is to make the molds and then make sand castings of them I think it would be fairly EASY to recast flat head blocks. NOW from the financial feasibility aspect I don't know if the cost/profit is or would be worth it. Watching Ferrari cast their block on the lastest "How it's made" (I know its in condensed form) but still very easy and quick process.
