It’s lighter, but can’t take as much power probably. I don’t know exactly, but I hope someone does.
It would cost a bloody fortune be a nightmare to machine but titanium is very light and extremely strong and has a very high resistance of absorbing heat which is why it’s used in exhaust systems and as brake pad backing plates so it probably would make an excellent engine block but the inner parts of the block would inevitably fail long before the integrity of the block so there’s not really any point
Ferrari had F1 engine blocks from cast titanium, so ther must be reason that they didnt go for aluminium.
The titanium plates last years, are strong and are really light. They are used on submarined so…
