Quote: On my old (now HEMIFRED's) Duster, I had a one piece motor plate with a Meziere water pump, held together by 6 stainless steel socket cap screws from Lowe's. Block is an iron Megablock. Hung together with no issues for 5 years. And than blown Hemi was heavy!
If you had an ALUMINUM block would you have still installed the stainless hardware? I've seen so many galled aluminum parts- even with anti-seize attempts- with stainless fasteners I am now officially a scare-D-cat.
