Default engine boring on a vertical mill

To all the people who say that I cannot bore a engine block with a
vertical mill, let me ask you this:

Why cannot I bore a engine block with five inches of diamator and six
inches of depth with .001 accuracy in both its horiontal and vertical
plane?

Can I purchase a longer quill and still mantain accuracy?

Can I purchase a tool which will allow me to by-pass the spindle and
attach my boring bar directly to the quill and still mantain accuracy?
Don't get me wrong' I am not a expert, but I am not buying it.
