I think that if I ask Mark Shead to make it bullet proof he may want to liner it anyway and then I may as well not do it and just drop the money on the Ally block as the costs are too close together.?
Sensible choice tbh by the time you go liners oil jets and other block mods stud work a bit you have the security that the alloy block stands up to anything you can throw at it and like you say you will get a good chunk back for the 200 block . But then that gets you thinking there head is good to and getting good head is quite important
