why most of you use iron block if you can use aluminium block to reduces weight in car and could be drive better with less weight on front end of the car?.

I like to see how you modify and build your own engines.... really great!!!!!!

Let us know how you like the VIc Jr heads, I don't understand why but they are always overlooked, great heads not much out there better, made 550HP on my prior small block 406ci and perfectly streetable, a pleasure to drive and would spin the tires at 40mph
