I'm with you Brent also. My thoughts are, aluminum moves a lot. A block being such a big chunk of bored holes to the thousands of an inch just never made sense to me from a longevity reliability standpoint at big horsepower numbers. Maybe a seasoned block has better results. I'll let you weigh in on that thought.
