Why would you put an iron block in a light ass car? I'm confused....

Mainly based on costs, the aluminum block versions were much more expensive. Also, if I ever do decide to go big the iron block can hold more power

Re: Hey!!
I'm actually starting pretty conservatively, stock shortblock / cam / head studs...
My goal is 400whp to start with and perhaps some nitrous in the near future

Re: Hey!!
I used to ""share" an '83 RX7 with a friend of mine. I wanted to put a v8 in, but he wanted to put a rebuilt 12a in it. Eventually his dad got sick of it sitting around and sent it to a junk yard.

Re: Hey!!
Does it have a motor/tranny or anything in it still that you're going to be taking out and looking to get rid of?
