To change the block size you have to recreate the database.
How you are going to copy the data that's another issue. You can use full
database export/import (pretty long downtime, or problems with data
consistency) or you can do a live copy. More on a live copy you can see in:
Venkat S. Devraj, Oracle 24x7 Tips & Techniques, Osborne Press, 2000. I am
currently working on a similar project (live database migration). I will
present some results at IOUG if you are there.
