Thanks for the info and advise! I feel like I atleast understand more now. Haha
Is there a way I could go about taking advantage of an iron block keeping it NA? For around $1,500-$2,000? I feel like I'd get carried away, and I don't have the cash flow or time to maintain a DD 800rwhp or more FI car. Haha
My situation is a guy is wanting to trade me a bike (I've been wanting another since I sold my R6) and cash for my V. And this thing popped up, in my range and with decent mileage. I don't have to have this one, just the only good buy around at the moment that I can find, and maybe a safe way to make lots of power, it being an iron block.

LQ4 iron vs LS2 aluminum. The price difference is stupid. Lq4 stock longblock all day long $800-1500. LS2 longblock? $3500-7000. Same cubes. Im putting a forged 370 Lq4 in the vette. 100lbs heavier? So what. Id rather have a bullet proof forged iron block N/A and have the capability to upgrade to serious FI set up down the road without having to build another block. You want to offset the weight? Get lighter wheels and relocate your 40lb battery to the trunk. Cut your rotational mass down by 60lbs, keep your creature conforts and you will be happy. Like these guys said dont let iron blocks deter you.
