ACL is never a bad choice.
Give em to your machine shop so they can measure it.
By the way, since you're in Chicago, who's doing the machining?

I like One6 but I suggest taking that block to APEX, they are a great machine shop, I'm getting my build done there quite possibly in the next week (going with ACL bearings, also using a b16, and also using a refinished stock crank.
PM me for their number if you're interested.
If you've heard of AMS and their project cars, well APEX has made several of their blocks in the past, and I've seen some secret projects from different shops in the local area and it's great work that they do (30+psi). They are located on 83/archer about 25mins SOUTH of One6.

There a few H-T members that have gone through with APEX also, and I have gone through them twice myself personally.

I'd personally just take it to them then. I mean have them measure it and assembly the bottom and call it a day.
They'll charge probably around 50 bucks; but that's just me I mean I don't have any fancy measuring tools..
But yea I've used ACL in the past and I like them.
Sorry can't be more of a help than that.

You can't go wrong with OEM.
