There are even Comp classes where OEM bore center spacing applies. Many other classes have a ruling on bore center spacing dimensions including Pro Stock, Funnycar, and Top Fuel. Those dimensions are measured with the cylinder head removed.

So...do you guys gave up on pumping the engine for CID measurement? Do not get me wrong, I am not being a critic; I like your new approach. Will there be any enforcement for those using the Aurora block, GM P/N 24502650? (a.k.a. Pro Stock Truck Class block - 8.1" Deck and requires an adapter for its use with a GM pattern bellhousing)
