Aluminium heads on Iron block, is it ok? Is there any problem with such setup while running NA, N2O & turbo/blower?

Re: Aluminium heads on Iron block, is it ok? There is no problem as long as head gaskets are correct for application.Aluminum and iron can have a electrolytic reaction to each other that is why coolant type and head gaskets must be correct type. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Aluminium heads on Iron block, is it ok? The ls1 based trucks are iron block with aluminum heads and more people than I can count have NOS and blowers with no problems.

Re: Aluminium heads on Iron block, is it ok? Shouldn't be a problem at all, keep in mind the LT1 is an iron block with aluminum heads, and there are tons of those guys with blowers and nitrous.
