My personal opinion is to avoid using aluminium for the head. If u can find a currently existing production OHV head that is close to fitting then there is a process known as oven brazing. A head can be cut in half or into cross sections and machined to fit a different block. THen it is oven brazed back together.

Oven brazing is very expensive and not many facilities available even in the detroit area to do it. Not sure it can be done on Al tho. I know it can be done on Cast Iron.
