Is my block surface clean enough for HG
I cleaned it with acetone and scraper then took 2k grit wet sandpaper to it and that didnt really do much. I cant catch a finger nail on any of it but i dont want to have to do this job a second time.

I'd get back to scrubbing, but use a scotch brite pad, and you should be able to get it perfectly clean. When I was a kid, late 1970's, I worked a Summer job in the race engine shop for Bob Sharp Datsun. My only job was to scrub the engine block cylinder walls with white towels and hot soapy water, until the towels didn't get even the slightest bit dirty. This was done to get the machining grit out of the honing marks. Ever since then, when putting engine parts together, I believe in getting them as clean as humanly possible, and if you can't feel it, but you can still see it, I'm still not done.

Looking back i should have headed the warnings and took it to mullins machine shop in Panama City. Overall though i got the block surface pretty clean with 2k grit wet sanding and a straight edge and feeler gauge to maintain straightness.
