Hi;
You have received good replies to your questions, but just for the record -- there is actually a B230 aluminium block. Or more specifically; five blocks...

Apparently, Mr. Sten Parner, a well-known Swedish engine builder, got the a redblock mold from Volvo but was only allowed to make alu blocks from it. His blocks are 40 pct. lighter than the original redblock, and the output is around 800 BHP. The pricetag was around 11,000 USD but they are all sold by now.
