Alright here's what's going down. I've got a 6 bolt non-turbo block that i had bored, tanked, etc. I've got the crank bolted in, pistons in, rods bolted to crank. Put the head on last night. Then moved onto installing the front case and noticed there was a couple of bolt holes that were not lining up. I went to one of the turbo blocks i had laying around and compared and what i found was very odd:
This is a picture of the turbo bottom end:
And this is a picture of the non-turbo bottom end:
You notice that the oil transfer port from the oil pump to the oil filter housing is shaped slightly different, and when lining the turbo front case up on that block the cutout on the case doesn't match the port on the block. Then the big bolt hole (the one bolt on the case that's a 14 head) does not even begin to line up?
Anyone on here have even the slightest clue as to what's up? I've never known for the cases to be different between a turbo block and a non-turbo block?
