Absolutely. Adapter plate is already off. Actually have it down to a bare block. Only thing still bolted on are the oil squirters that aim at the bottom of the Pistons. I always thought that all the blocks after 93 had the turbo parts inside, but after a little research, I have found that they were made both ways. This was a NA block obviously. It has the 1/4 inch oil port on top, but the small wrist pins. I haven't opened the oil cooler bundle yet, but I am curious if it is the better one or not...
Pulled my first idi engine yesterday.

The turbo block should have C3 at the end of the casting number (not serial). Thicker main webs 
I'm curious as to when turbo blocks were used for na applications (based on your rods). References show the na block used thru 1994... kinda odd.

Middle of the lifter valley.
Definitely stamped c3 on the casting numbers. Interesting that it had 28 mm rods in it and the turbo casted block. Well, I am happy to have the stronger main webs. Not too much worried about the rods. They will be strong enough for me. I hate that the pistons have the heat cracks on the top of them. I would have left this engine as is if not for that.
