They ever make the Barra with an aluminum block?

Definitely not.

They may have made one or two with an aluminium block, though

Apparently they did make some for testing, but none ever made it into cars that were sold. Such a shame, it would be one hell of an engine.

Steelies and a decent amount of sidewall is the way to go. It just looks better.
