If money wasnt a concern Aluminum all around .

There isnt a problem with shifting like in the 70's when they first came out (Vega with teflon sleaves).Which worked when you put iron sleeves in.

The cobra block is Aluminum isnt it ?

The R-Block I've seen not just heard peoples problems with them also , I wish Dart made a Aluminum block. The A-4 was to good so they stopped making it.

Last time I looked into it the Aluminum block i wished for was like $5000.00 all finished and could be bored and strocked to (454) and set up for yates heads. good yates heads are pricey also.
