Default Aluminum small block pros/cons?
I'm considering many options in buying an SPF cobra. Amongst those are the choice between an iron or aluminum SB block. I'm guessing that the roughly 100 pound weight savings will translate into faster 0-60 AND also better cornering. Don't know anything about other things like heat, reliability, etc. Right now I'm looking at the World SB 427s (~500 hp) in iron or aluminum blocks. Anybody got any experience or thoughts on this?

thx

Matt
