Stan Sainty at Sainty Engineering in Westmead NSW (Western Sydney region) uses single billets of aluminium for machining one piece big block V8 cylinder blocks. He might point you in the right direction if you call him.

Billet refers to a cast semi finished product. It is also referred to as ingot, particularly for smaller sizes. A billet is typically cast to a rectangular, hexagonal or round cross section compatible with secondary processing
