At least two individuals have tried to bring an alloy Cleveland block to market and, IIRC, one of the parties did bring a few. His problem involved limited financial reserves and a fairly limited target population, so I don't think the production continues.
The endeavor is difficult enough that few feel compelled to pursue the task and even fewer manage to succeed.

My point exactly Doug. I couldn't agree with you more. It is a daunting task both financially and from a manufacturing perspective .
