My thoughts are to see if it isn't possible to CNC the LS head-bolt pattern on a Gen 1 block's deck down to the pan surface and use long head-bolts to mount an LS head????? If I hit water, I would sleeve the new head-bolt holes and be done with it.
And to this day, I figure Chevy "screwed the pooch" when they didn't mount an LS style Gen 1 head to the old block!!!
The LS power is in it's head and NOT in it's block!!!

The machine work you listed could buy 2 LS blocks.

Paul no offense but there are times I think the only way you would truly believe you were in a forest is right after a tree fell on you
