This is not an issue for me. Tod Buttermore knows what he's doing, he has a proven track record. He's not a young man and his career is in the foundry business (he's a pattern maker). He has been involved in at least 2 other successful engine block projects (both 427 FE blocks). So he's no newcomer to building engine blocks, this is not a one-time deal for him and he has a reputation to maintain. However I'm sure if you asked him he would tell you both the alloy and the heat treat he plans to use, why he selected this alloy, his experience with the alloys he used in the past, what the industry standard is, etc.
