So do you run an alloy block?
I own an Indy RB 440 based block. Similar to the picture I posted.
I have NOT ran the alloy motor yet, as I stopped acquiring parts for the time being. I haven't decided on the final configuration, so I still need pistons and a camshaft.

Trying to move, not spending any large sums of money until I make sure the house deal is done.
I bought a Hondo Sprint to hold my alloy Mountain Mopar for my Christmas present last year and I haven't finished it.
Trust me. I want to. Responsibilities/liabilities first.

One thing I have noticed on a few boats w/ aluminum blocks is that with the lack of weight in the back they tend cavitate much easier. I'd imagine you could fix this w/ hardware changes but from what i've seen it may not be as easy as it sounds. Pros have definetly been mentioned above. Just food for thought.
i keep hearing people say that an aluminum block won't make the power that an iron block engine will. i have to question that. Has any company actually built two identical engines with both blocks and dyno tested them back to back? I don't put much stock in rumors so until somebody actually proves this theory i'll disregard it. All i know is that my engine runs good and the weight savings was more than worth the extra $$$.
