The iron block can be bored to 4.040 or so, the 6.0 crank is a little stronger as is the iron block,you don"t have to clearance the 6.0 block for a 4" stroker crank.It is about 100 lbs heavier then alum.You can use a bigger cam with the added cubes.Cam choice depends on what you want to do with your car.
