[QUOTE="Serpentor, post: 3302216, member: 8650"] [list=1] [*]If everyday durability of aluminum is an issue, how many high end, high HP, modern PRODUCTION street cars (Porche, AMG, Ferrari, Lambo, BMW, McLaran F1, austin martin, NSX, ..) come with cast iron engines? ZERO [*]given the SAME geometry, sure the cast iron block is stronger, but you can design an aluminum block to handle as much hp as anyone needs, without the weight penalty of cast iron. [*]out of all the available 4.6 mod motor blocks, the teksid block is the strongest, (its been beaten to death but I'm going to state it again incase jpjr & others happens to read it.)
