I've read Siamese cylinders pose their own cooling problems as the coolant cant flow between the Siamesed cylinders. This apparently can lead to uneven cooling and out of round cylinders in extreme cases. Based on the good info in this post and elsewhere, I am starting to lean toward an iron Pond 427/482.
