Not the case

I warned my machinist about this and when I went to pick it up he said it had machined as normal

There are two CGI blocks available - one is a direct replacement for the Zetec E block (blacktop) - water pump in same place etc. Only missing one boss on the rear for a knock sensor as i found.

The other one is the heavily externally machined version that was used as a WRC block. that had all non used bits machined off to reduce weight, then it had about 15mm machined off the deck height, wet liners installed and then a space plate to go over the top of the liners - wouldn't even consider trying to build one of these unless you've got a complete WRC engine spares package!!
