  • 3800--iron or aluminum block??

    I've been told different things by different people for awhile now on what the 3800 block/heads are made out of. One friend says its all aluminum, another says that it's an iron block with aluminum heads.. Can someone clarify this for me??

      LT1 ------&gt; iron block
      LS1 ------&gt; aluminum block
