I wouldn't put an aluminum block in anything short of an all out drag engine that is rebuilt often. They expand and things shift around, and critical clearances move around. Not worth the weight reduction IMO. Only good thing in my eyes is if you blow it up, aluminum can be repaired easily. Then again, a properly built A4/R302/Dart iron based engine probably won't ever come apart
