I assumed aircraft V12 engine blocks were originally cast, so why machine them out a solid piece of metal?
If I am correct in that they were cast, I don't really see why it would be so expensive (relatively)having a batch recast and machined? Of course this only gives you a block,.... far, far away from a complete new engine.
