Hmmm I say no. Aluminum castings are not very flexible. Brittle to an extent but not flexible.

But since there is that possibility I figure 1/2 price at the most

Also, I read a long debate thread one time that people were actually discussing the possibility of long term sustained weight on the aluminium causing it to bend ever so slightly after spending decades on an engine stand. It got really debated with formulas and a lot of BS.
