It will be interesting to see what the wall thickness is for this block.

I have an engine just like this. It was a 24 stud 221 cubic inch block of the 59A variety.

I had the block bored to a total of .125

That made this engine standard bore for a 59A enigine. Plenty of wall thickness and 59A pistons and rings in standard size are easy to obtain.
