When I built my hemi, there were no iron blocks available and KB or Indy were the only 2 choices. I went w/ KB and couldn't be happier. Should be the last block I'll ever need to buy...repairable if it blows up, mess up a bore just install a new sleeve, etc. Not to mention saving a little weight up front.
A LITTLE WEIGHT?!?!?!?! 
Well, my car's a sled so yeah, it is a little to me, lol.  I didn't really lose any weight when I put the hemi in...turns out my all aluminum hemi weighs nearly the same as the iron block/aluminum head 440 it replaced.
Now imagine an aftermarket iron HEMI block.
