Aluminum heads

Im confused. How does that work. Ford engineers know more about this than I do. I know this makes me seem realy realy old but in 1969 Chevy had L89 427 Corvette [remember when you could order stuff like this at your local dealer] The aluminum heads and iron block with their different expansion rates made them not work well and causing them to be realy rare and prized today

Gm Isuzu Daramax has aluminum heads since they started with no problems, it's all in the bolt pattern

also this isn't a regular iron block... it's CGI. Lots of engines today have different metals for block and heads. Much progress has been made since 1969
