I wasnt dodging any question, Its common sense to take the iron 10 and make it a aluminum block. Doesnt take a genius to figure that out. Oh and to answer the question i was "dodging" ever heard of the mosler? http://www.moslerauto.com/ ;)

Engine


The engine of a Koenigsegg CCX at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show
While previous Koenigsegg models were powered by Ford Modular V8 engines sourced from the U.S., the engine of the CCX was thoroughly re-engineered by Koenigsegg themselves and is assembled at the Koenigsegg factory, though it is still based on the Ford Modular architecture. [12] [13] The engine block is cast for them by Grainger & Worrall, a British company that produces drivetrain components for Formula One cars.[8][14] The engine is a 4.7 liter 288 cu in (4,719 cc) V8, with dual overhead camshafts and 4 valves per cylinder.[1][8][15] The engine block is made of 356 Aluminium that has undergone a T7 heat treatment, a form of accelerated precipitation strengthening.[8][16] The aluminium alloy is stronger than the previous engine and allows a thinner, thus lighter, engine block that will withstand higher cylinder pressures. The engine is boosted by two centrifugal superchargers that provide 17.5 psi (1.2 bar) of boost with an 8.2:1 compression ratio. The engine produces 806 bhp (601 kW; 817 PS) at 6900 rpm and 678 lb·ft (919 N·m) of torque at 5700 rpm on 91 octane (U.S. rating) gasoline.[1][9] The engine is lubricated with a dry sump system with a separate oil pump, the pistons are cooled by oil sprayed onto them and the oil itself has an external cooler.[1] The CCX does 14 mpg (17 l/100km) in combined cycle and 18 mpg (13 l/100km) in highway travel.
