welp whats your goal, what do you want, nitrous motor, boosted what?
cant make arrangement if you dont have a goal.
you do not need aluminum at all. and i can tell you probably dont want to go just insanely fast. a dart cast iron block will do you just fine, with the 4 bolt mains on the 3 inner mains. you dont need anything else
