Which block to use?

[85glhomni]

What is the best block for a serious turbo build up?
The strongest block which can take the big HP.

'89-95 common block

what cars can they be found in, also that is the bottem end with forged rods and crank but not forged pistons correct?

[cybermrc]

The common block bottom end with forged cranks is the '89-93 2.2L turbo II, turbo III (DOHC 16V), and turbo IV (VNT cars). Stock they all have cast pistons (except the turbo III which has forged ones), and heavy duty rods.

These engines can be found in many cars, including Daytonas, Lebarons, Spirits, CSX's, etc
