Reply to "Reinforcing with "Hard Block""

One more possible comment: if your block has significant core shift in the cylinder bores, you won't cure it by half-filling it with grout. Best to have it (ultra)sonic tested before grouting. I hear that you can sometimes tell if there's significant core shift by the location of the lifter bores relative to the casting.

For the money invested in grout fill and any other downside it may have, I would rather get an aftermarket 9.2" deck Windsor block, TFS cleveland heads, and a TFS "clevor" intake... In the realm of street-driven engines, the new Ford Racing Boss 351 block with cross-drilled water coolant passages would be my first choice...
