whats a better material to use aluminum or steel?
this question pertains to strength only, I know the aluminum plate will be lighter than the steel one and much easier to cut/drill/machine
and...
if I have to make one from scratch how do I go about laying it out
does it bolt to heads? the block? both?
and lastly
how does this affect accesory drive mounting in a streetcar? I can run an electric water pump but I need to retain a belt drive power steering pump, ther supercharger drive, and an alternator
its an L67/L32 into a 70's A-body
thanks
