[QUOTE="Serpentor, post: 3306508, member: 8650"] no it will not cost $$$$$$$$$$, it will be incrementally more expensive but a properly designed aluminum block will not use that much more material then a cast iron block. The key to a strong aluminum block design is reinforcement in key areas, not adding material everywhere.The manufacturing cost differential is more in the order of hundreds $ per block. Its not $$$$$$$$$$$ as you put it. [/QUOTE]
