I'm also curious on your opinion of the bottom end structure of the iron block vs aluminum block engines. I know they aren't six bolt side bolted like the aluminum. It's been quite awhile since I looked at one opened up out of a car and I wasn't thinking about building it for power when I did. It's 4 bolt mains correct? I'd love to save weight with aluminum but the hassle of swapping my manual trans and boring or even having custom Pistons made for the aluminum block "outweighs"�� the savings.
