No, you couldnt, the design of the block would need to be significantly different at the bottom to allow the pistons to be fed up, and also a direct copy in aluminium would be too weak.

Some of the machining would be impossible too to replicate the water ways and oilways etc in a monoblock, it would have to be a new design.
