    '93 TBI has Turbo block?

    I noticed what appears to be a plug screwed into the back of the block in the place where a turbo motor has the coolant return....Did some '93 TBI cars come through with turbo blocks to use them up? Anybody else seen this?

    I thought they all came with the coolant return drilled & tapped ? All 4 of my engine blocks do anyways.

    It's the lowest place on the block due to the engine tilt. If you're draining the water out of the system, you remove that plug to get all the water out of the block...

    I had a 2.5 tbi block with that and a small freeze plug where the oil drain back tube went.

    That is actually the coolant feed line. The return line is the one on top.

    I put a tee off that fitting and screw on a pet----. Makes for painless coolant changes.
