Re: G-60 Short Block Question (VWCORADO)
Hakaikda, Ditto what VWCORADO says. Plus you'll need to get the plate that blocks off behind the charger mount -- easily available at any junk yard (I think it used to be for a mechanical fuel pump on way older cars). The beautiful thing is you can use all A-2 pieces for the accessory drives and avoid the expensive G-60 pieces like the alternator and A/C compressor (do you need power steering? think about that). The G-60 block is an excellent choice for turbocharging because is has the piston oil squirters and improved coolant flow around the end of the number one cylinder. Sounds like a cool project! Have fun, Rich
