I think it's probably that they were made from magnesium but is there any other advantages and would that even be an advantage on a street car? Also, are they more prone to leak..seems like I read that somewhere?

This being said, my own personnal opinion is that you can still build a very exciting engine with some of the earlier cases. Sure a 7R is the best, but if your're building a 2.4 or less, a 7R that fits will be hard to find, and an earlier case will work. If you want to rev to 9 grand have a super high compression ratio etc . . . you may be better off building an engine with what you have now.
