When we were deciding which way to go on my new project, my builder talked with quite a few builders that had issues with the cam journals not running parallel with the crank. I'm not sure if its true or not, just reporting what I heard. I went with Pond Aluminum and I am very happy.

That's funny undy.
I guess I did not know there was a weight difference. How much more ?

Sorry Kev, can't help myself sometimes...

I believe there was a thread or two over on fordfe that said somewhere around 30lbs +/- heavier than an OEM iron. But it's a heck of a lot stronger too

yeah,...yeah,.... Dave

lol

Like I just said in my pm to you. I wish I could edit my post heading from iron to aluminum. From the start of this magazine build is supposed to be about the 60's side oiler as a comparison to todays modern 2010 aluminum side oiler.

I know I will not be happy with a iron block, especially with all the time & work I've put in. Now is not the time to "settle"...... for a iron motor.

Do you agree ?

(Maybe I should delete this post and start a new one with aluminum in the heading.
