This is a large block. The four 'big' holes are mounting holes for LGA775 (see pic 1).
Should I go ahead and replicate the same deisgn in Cu? Should I remove the outer most track and thus reduce the size of my next block?

Well that design is not very optimal. What kind of equipment to you have access to to machine with? If you can go down a couple size end mills I have a design in mind that would require 2-3 more circle passes and several strait cross passes. It would take more work but should work a lot better.
But if you are set on that then yes, do it in copper. Not just for performance but reliability. When aluminum corrodes is gets eaten. When copper corrodes it makes a nice protective layer that significantly reduces failure time.
Good job on the block. Nice machine work.
