3L block has siamese cylinders and considerably higher cooling passage floor, so it should be a lot stronger.

I dont think that it does. But that is if the block is not bent from standing too long on engine stand.

Bas, it seems like no deck plate was used while machining the cylinders on your block? I'm going through the same process in the near future but my concern has mostly been related to the need of a costly deck plate while machining to prevent the cylinders from deforming after cylinder head has been installed. I have understood it should be used for machining a 2,5 l block, but not sure if it is necessary for the 3,0 l block machining.
Does anyone know if it should be used for dry sleeving a 3,0 l block? Anyone have experience doing that? I know at least Duke has dry sleeved his 3,0 l block, but any knowledge how that was carried out?

No, I was just joking. Block is made to fight against much stronger forces than that of gravitation, so it will not bend due to gravitation - ever.
Also, this guy on youtube that seems to really know his machining, does alusil procedure on MB block that is very similar to 44 block and is using no deck plate.

Thanks Chris. I guess you have some blocks under your belt so you know know this by experience? It sure makes things easier if no deck plate is needed for rough machining. Then I would not necessary need to get a deck plate machined myself as there are some already made that I could borrow

If I were home, I would ship you mine. It is one of those tools that collects dust most of the time. However, they are quite cheap on Amazon. You don't need a super expensive one.
