The only thing that scares me with an aluminum block is you can't overbore it if, say, you drop a valve in the cylinder, or melt a piston and it scores the bore past a cleanup hone.

iron block is good for F/I (stonger than aluminum but too havey)
aluminum is good for N/A (light weight, good for up to 700-800hp)
