More global statements, speaking for all engine builders. And it can't be argued?
You're making the Pond and Shelby blocks sound like Pepsi/Coke cans. People use aluminum pistons, rods, cylinder heads, intakes, rocker arms, etc. Until I see at least a good statistical sample of equally built FE engines, built with both cast iron and aluminum blocks, I call BS.
I know we live in a "post truth" or "truthiness" society now, but I need factual data sampling. And you line up 10 engine builders to post here on this thread that agree with you, but it's all hot air until I see real DATA!
It says right on the Shelby website:
"Strong enough to support over 1500 horsepower outputs."
"Shelby's FE alloy block delivers superior bottom end stability at high rpm."
