a steel head on an alum block has been proven to be a good choice..it stabilizes the block..bores an retains the gasket much better...really good stuff and ahead of its time...but theres always controversial theories..the good outweighs the weight savings...especially on turbo configs..


just not wise on the sleeveless cylinders..my aunt bought a new one in 72 it was sky blue...a neat little car for about 30,000 miles and then it started having issues..the whole family loved that little car til it started having issues and then she couldnt even give it to a family member..lol...she always said it was cursed and haunted by 49 studebaker...i dunno she did drink a bit..
