And, so far, the only builder that has discussed building engines with my blocks is Kevin Prus Jr., who builds motors for Snyder. That may jut be how some will get their motors.

That is true about the 5 axis lathe, BUT, I have made several cranks from SAE 6150 on a plain jane 18 inch Cinnicinati lathe.
