Got a good deal on a six bolt! Unsure if it was from a turbo or not, but I got some eagle rods, arp studs, and a bsek along with it for 700. Almost a long block just missing some pistons. But how can I tell on the block that is was from a turbo? Thanks!

Since its already disassembled the quickest way would probally be to check for the oil squirters. Pull off the oil pan and look up from the bottom for little tubes that would spray oil at the backsides of the pistons.

That's great, since it doesn't have the crank nor pistons and rods, i saw the squirters. That's all I needed to know!

Thanks,
