NO alu engines were ever put in a car for the public or racers.Thanks for finding that old article.It pretty much tells the whole story about this engine.I sold the car with the alu engine in it along with the original 326.The buyer then swapped engines and put the alu engine in the 62 car.I sold it with both a 2-4 setup and the tripower set up.The early alu blocks were way diff from the developmental 69-73 blocks.The later blocks had 4 bolt main,a reinforced lifter bore area and used block mounted starters.They were designed for the RA V program.I just sold my alu block RA V engine.It is going to Washington state with a Judge the target.Tom
