I have seen ones that look a lot worse happily inside engines.
I was not aware you can buy them new again. But then, I build engines that mainly use the earlier blocks with the screw in pickups as these suit a baffled sump better and are easier to set up to go into the middle not on the right hand side of the sump
At the recent lotus national meeting, a guy in an Elan with a very expensive new big horsepower "steel" engine got to the first set of 180 degree right hand corners on the track and lost oil pressure so he pulled out of the rest of the track day. The last I saw he was planning to talk to his engine builder about what was wrong with the sump baffling in this expensive engine of his.
If he had bothered to ask I could have told him exactly what he needs and his options in terms of oil pressure management in a twin cam on that specific corner
