I don't think the block would warp in that area.

Maybe if it was a Chevy engine. I hear that GM used Crest toothpaste in the late 60s to mid 70s as a material for Chevy engines. They would inject it into a mold and let it harden. You know, the way toothpaste gets hard on the sink when you forget to wash it off in the morning. That is why Chevy had to use four bolt mains. The metal wasn't really metal at all, just hardened toothpaste.
