TA Aluminum block

Anybody considering the TA Aluminum block to rebuild their TTA ? Costs some dough, but if U consider U won't need steel main caps and a girdle, maybe the $3500. isn't all that bad.

I've got some worked iron heads ready to go on, but not sure how well iron heads go with an aluminum block ? I guess there are no Al head alternatives for our cars.
