Hi, I came across on my travels, someone who was willing to sell me a aluminum 4g63 block with only 30,000 miles on it. Kind of weird, I have never seen anything like it. Light as a feather to. Whats the history with this?

It's pointless to even continue. The pics posted are too crappy to tell what's going on, plus the whole point was the aluminum baloney. The instant he admitted it wasn't aluminum this thread should've been just closed.

It doesn't look like one of our engines to me, but maybe that's just because he has the sides cut off on the bellhousing side pic.

You keep acting like its me that took these pics... Not my engine, not my pics.

But yes it is Cast Iron.

It was my fault I admit, I forgot what the blocked looked like, and the guy said it was aluminum, so I freaked. My bad guys. Sorry.

I didn't have pics till after I opened thread. Owner said he had a aluminum 4g63.
The more and more I look at the pics, the more I feel like a idiot .
