Engine Block material?

It seems to me I recall some blocks being Cast Iron and some aluminum. My 08 is cast iron. Seems they were CI and then switch to aluminum. When the power was bumped up they went back to CI.
Does anyone know which years where which?

Oh yeah, the 13 14s were aluminum with spray welded liners.

I'm pretty sure the switch form Cast Iron to Aluminum was mad is 2011.

2011 Ford Shelby GT500 finally gets aluminum engine, loses 120 pounds
