...I don't know, I'm torn in my own post. 
May make sense to cost out rebuilding vs crate. Price is probably going to be better overall on an LQ build, not to mention once you go to the 4" bore you can get some real awesome heads. It's something I've thought about doing on my truck (06 Avalanche 1500) many times... |
I'd stick with aluminum if I was worried about weight but that isn't an issue with my build. Cost basis on an iron block is better than aluminum. However, if I run across a deal on an aluminum block motor, you better believe I will snag it over the iron.
