Hi,

Yes, there was an aluminum used in Triumphs.  The Rover V8 (x-Buick) used in 
the TR8, and I believe it's still being used today in the Land Rover.

 "Metals that retain less heat, aluminum for example - which is where most of
 the motorcycle heads have gone, retain less heat and therefore overheat (and
 crack) less. Too bad there isn't an aluminum TR engine (is there?) - My
 guess
 is it would run a whole lot cooler."
 
 There are available new alloy cylinder heads for TR2 - 4a, Want more info?
