Aluminum engine cases are cast in a different mold than magnesium for additional strength and so the case can accept larger internal components. Aluminum cases are thicker in some areas, and due to the size differences versus the magnesium cases, will require that some engine tin pieces, fan shrouds and often times even accessories, like deep oil sumps, will have to be modified, trimmed, or clearanced so that they can be installed.

Standard Aluminum Pulleys can not be used with Aluminum Engine Cases

As aluminum cases are thicker in areas that magnesium cases aren't, like the crank pulley snout, standard aluminum pulleys can not be used with aluminum cases. Use a stock style steel pulley, a pulley with a steel hub, or if you want to use an aluminum pulley, install a "bolt-in" sand seal pulley. This will require the use of a longer crank pulley bolt as well.
