The thought was an aluminum block would save weight on the nose along with aftermarket strength compared to a stock block. After reading some of the posts I need to do more homework for sure!

Unless money isn't an object, it can be done with the Aluminum block and under 1000 hp.

But for long term throw anything to it live forever. I would use the Iron IA II block and live with the nose weight. There are things you can get away with to make a front heavy car hook. Just ask those SS and stock racers. And some illegal stuff too. LOL.
