They won't unless they're modified as the newer aluminum heads come-tight chambers, bigger valves and better-flowing ports. There's a lot of science in modern aluminum heads. You would need to do a lot of modifying to iron heads to approach modern TrickFlows or AFRs. And then the weight still works against them.
