On the more serious side , in the 1970's there was a trend to "wet Sleeve" XPAG block we were told the early banana blocks were the ones to do, and I did one many years ago but in later times the question of structural integrity is a thought I have since the original cylinders provided strength and attachment from the "deck" to the bottom  "crankcase"  does this in fact weaken the block and when torquing the cylinder head down does this twist the block?
