Hey all,

I’m searching for a block to start a build & just had a question; will a block out of a ‘94 fit into my ‘90? Just so happened to be the first one I found, and it is JUST the block.

Such as engine mounts, mounting to AOD, head fitment…

Technically there are some very minor differences...but they are interchangeable and essentially the same block.

87-90 block would be the E7TE block. 1991+ Block would be the F1SE block.

The F1 block is a little thicker around the cylinder walls and has the provision for a knock sensor.


I second making sure the main caps come with the block, otherwise i'd pass.
