    87-92 Block Differece 7m-gte

    Genuine Group A blocks have no squirters and are based on a Heavy NA block. Check it very carefully for cracks in the deck, the above pic was an 87 with 18000 miles and had a bunch of cracks between the head bolt holes and the steam holes.

    87-92 Block Differece 7m-gte
