non turbo CB

[TurboXT]

is the same as a turbo common block right?

[ShelbyGLHS592]

They are usually non cross drilled and don't have the turbo oil return. The connecting rods are tiny too.

[TurboXT]

but u can just drill the hole for the oil return right?

[glhsken]

Yes. And if it's a 2.2L you get the added bonus of a 7lb lighter cast crank...

[TurboXT]

what crank are u using ken?

in my non-turbo commonblock buildup i'm drilling a 1/2 npt for the oil return and then running braided stainless line from the turbo, no chance of leakage.
