No replacement for displacement.
 Any who, being it's a ST I'd just get another 7A-FE for it and call it a day. I have a ST, and once I want to do a V6 swap I'm just going to go out and find a GT with a blown motor. Probably would be cheaper, and save my health a little more.

Aluminum is superior to steel for building engines because
it is stiffer, transfers heat better and it weighs half as much as steel. All aluminum engines, at least 99.9% of them, have steel sleeves or jugs in them because aluminum doesnt stand up to piston rings scraping back and forth like steel does. I would take aluminum over steel anyday, it just costs alot more. At the scrap yard steel is $25 a ton while aluminum is 30¢ a pound. Do the math |
