oh right, you're in Sweden!
356 was just the first one i came across looking on google. i can ask at uni for some other alternatives if that would help you. i'm actually a metallurgist doing my PhD and i do a lot of work with electron microscopes analysing structure and composition.
i would cut a bit of my bellhousing and analyse it, but with those levels (almost impurity levels) it would not yield useful results for you.
i'm sure someone in my 'School of Materials Science and Engineering' would have to know what alloys are commonly used.
another thing you would have to be careful about is the 'master alloy' they use to 'seed' the molten metal to decrease the grain size... or you could just make the casting thicker and hope it all works put some huge ribbing in it...
