I guees its a matter of different strokes for different folks.
Over here we have quiet a few guys using blocks like the old 173 0r 186 style blocks as the seem to handle bit more punnishment.
But simply as getting a machine shop to plug and tap your water jackets to suit will sort it out and get your old red block breathing ( a Black and EFI VK black head are the same.).
But the 12 port on a red block can make a awsom motor as specaily the 186 (factory steel crank ) And changing to a electronic ignition and good 2brl carb with good exauste and small cam with good lift will see your little red singing like a bird. Good luck hope this helps.
