I felt an older block would be fine. Money is a big reason also. How much is an iron block.....$2500-3000 plus machining? I don't really see any advantages to it.

I didn't feel comfortable with just a stock FE block with no extra support....so that's why I had the billet crossbolted main caps fitted.

I'm planning on about 560-570 hp and about 6500 revs....
