IF you can find a decent side-oiler block....That's a BIG IF. Let's say you find one. You're talking about $5G's, maybe more. KC has a few lying around the shop, but it will cost you.

Personally, I would rather have modern machining and (aluminum) metals.

In terms of ME being a future buyer, a Cobra with cast iron block would need to be properly discounted for the fact that I would need to tear it out of there to replace it with aluminum.
