Re: Donovan Aluminum block
I'm curious ,what are you putting this in and what did it come out of ?Hopefully not a bravo drive !You'll spend more time working on the drive than the engine,i speak from personal experience ,i learned the hard way! On alum heads,if they are the exact copies of cast iron heads ,the cast will make more HP.The cast iron keeps more heat in the combustion chamber,thus more energy.The obvious advantage of alum is the weight,and a lot of options on runner sizes and valve sizes. Here again i would not pay extra just to get an alum block,but if the total package is a good price and an alum block happens to be included great !

I've seen the SAME thing happen last summer on a chevy bow/tie tall deck block.
