Which aluminum block are you talking about?
Some are stronger!
Cobra Jets were cast iron.
The GT40 block is very strong.
The Dart replacement SBF block is stronger than a stock 302 block, and not as strong as their HD iron block version.

The problem with aluminum blocks is they espan and contract to much for a daily driver
