Not Ranked
Please don't confuse what I am saying. I think Brent is a great engine builder. I am saying it helps to have someone that has built multiple aluminum engines rather than having a first time builder do an aluminum one. My engine builder preferred Shelby blocks above others as he said there was less block work to do when he received it.
I said also "mitigate" which is risk reduction but not elimination. I don't think you can eliminate all of them. I also am not saying they are superior to a steel block.
I think there are pros and cons to each direction. I can tell you things do move around on the aluminum block worse than a steel block.
