Is weight savings the only reasoning for getting an alum block? Are you going to be making more power than the last engine?
How much does my iron tall deck merlinII weigh?

Less power potential with aluminum block, and weight savings can be offset with power loss, given everything else the same. I have a feeling that Mike's going to be upping the power to the point that he'll be way past what he might lose (due to block being aluminum) over his last set up. If the only thing being changed is the block, don't expect more power.
More importantly, Hemis dont work really well without a blower anyway
That's true with Chrysler Hemi heads, but the AR Ford Hemi's were designed for NA, and work better than most, Hemi or not.

yes.

the goal is to save a couple hundred pounds of weight and to make the same power as my old blower motor.

Steelcomp,
I read your posts, and I respect your opinions. I have heard the statement before and I never gave it a second thought.
What is the reason?
Is it due to the rapid heat conductivity of aluminum? Or something else?
Wouldn't aluminum heads have the same problem?

1000 hp NA, wow, that should be unreal. Tunnel ram or single carb? Not pump gas for sure. What kind of heads?
