[Amc-list] aluminum 196 revisited

[d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx>]

i may  have asked this before, but hear it goes again
i just got another 62 classic 4 door. it is ratty beond repair. front/rear glass is good to donate for mine should the need arise. it has the aluminum 196 t96/od. i am planning to get the aluminum 196 running (if it will come back to life) to put in the american for now till i get everything to drop in v8 if possible. 

question 1: will the head gasked for a cast iron 196 work on the aluminum one also with its cylinders the way they are free floating??

question 2: does anyone know if the aluminum block would still have that volcano hump on the crank or is it gone by then? 

i think the aluminum was a 64/65 motor??
