Just out of interest, the last time this subject came up here I spoke to a company I use to do my casting, regarding new Merlin crankcases (as an example), and after showing him a crankcase, he didn't seem to think it would be too difficult, ...maybe $10,000 for the pattern and $1000 - $2000 per crankcase depending on quantity required.
Of course there would be a hell of a lot of machining to do, but maybe it's food for thought?
Don't know about the legality side of it though?
