Every generation (except one hydrid oddball from some truck i think) of the LSx is aluminum and it’s considered (by most) the most desireable platform in the world than any other motor out there. Trust me when I say that if Honda was doing this first, they were ahead of the game, not behind it. (I have no idea if honda even makes an aluminum block… i don’t follow these things… I’m just going on your comment about honda above) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/subarus-sti-going-down-hill/113108)._
