No aluminum block. It did have an aluminum intake. The 1970 W-30 was the high point of all 442's. 370 seriously under rated horsepower, 500 ft/lbs torque. It's Old's version of the Chevelle SS LS6 or Skylark GSX. I think the 68 and 69 Hurst Olds had more rated horsepower but the W-30 were very under rated. I remember when you could get a real nice one for well under $10K.
The aluminum rear end, option W27. They're worth a small fortune these days.
