        GM had an aluminum- block 215 CID V8 back in about '63. It was
used by
        Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac. Buick used their own cylinder
head
        design, as did Olds, but I don't know what Pontiac used for
their heads;
        Pontiac 215 V8s are not very common. The engine design was sold
to Rover
        in the UK.

I know it, Aluminum block, advertized weight 266 lbs. I think Olds
compact "Jetfire" had a water injected Supercharger deal on it, claimed
215 hp@ 215 inches. Or did I botch up that memory too ?

Bob, bet I was close,W
