You have to look at fuel cost, vehicle wear and tear, and of course it all depends on what your time is worth to you. My brother isn't the most patient person, so that was a factor as well. None of these magic $1000 LQ motors were available while he searched. Not everyone gets the buddy deal, either.
I also factor in how much fun road trips are and the fact that I can make most of them on a tank of fuel or less, and that cost compared to the savings usually makes it worth it.

I checked out the link, thanks for that man, hadn't seen that.
I understand and agree with what you said about the weight savings vs a tubular front end. But if you are going for a budget build then neither the aluminum block or tubular front end will be part of the build lol.

Go aluminum!! I hate the iron block in my 2000 Z28. As soon as I complete my LQ iron block build I came across a deal I couldn't resist...... a aluminum 5.3 block. It'll be going in my car soon. I'm go have the 5.3 block dry sleeved got big cubes. Kinda like having my cake and eating it too.
