It doesn't matter, if you know what you're doing. Every engine block I've made uses the same formula (garnered from 38+ years of experience) to make either iron or aluminum. The Model A block is a brick compared to many castings I have engineered.

I have a guy who will take the first couple, so I'm not going to talk about it anymore. I have an iron one machining right now, first, though. But, paying work comes first, always.
