Now, you can say that an aluminum IA2-based engine would be lightweight as well but it would still be a bit heavier. Plus, if he blows up an engine, he could have another one waiting for him when he got home. The down time for a custom build like that would likely be months. As Tom Vaught mentioned, we only have so much time on this planet- you don't want to spend the majority of it on the sidelines.
Don you should do a Article on Roger Bolliger's 71 T/A Road Racer > Butler Pontiac power Aluminum IA II Block etc. Win's Races

Wish we had a Vintage race class where I could run an Aluminum block and basically unlimited cubes, along with his other mods.
I guess technically the M/P-1 class would be the closest, but I'd need to run period correct 15" wheel's, bias tires and somewhat period correct brakes.
