it should, but dont take this from me. i know the block is the same for the turbo and na, because if you look at a NA block it has some leftover bolt holes and they are for turbo parts. so i would think it should.

eh, yes the same block casting for the most part, but the N/A block lacks several things the turbo block has. such as oil passages for the turbo oil lines, for instance.

and yes you can just slap a turbo head on there and be done with it. (the cams are different, but they'll work)

7MGTE blocks also have the oil squirters and a different oil pump.

oil pump same, oil pump driven gear different.

Pumps have different bodies the GTE pump has longer gears.
