You are probably talking about the cylinder head? As I remember the
engine block was still cast iron. Which V6? There was several 2.8L
3.1L and of course 3.8L

They actually did make an aluminum block V6 in the 60's.
To work on the innards of the engine, you were supposed to hold the
block in a special jig. If you just left the block on the workbench or the
shop floor, the parts might well not go back into it....
