Well, you can use a 20v NA head in place of the 3B head but the blocks are
way different.  One option would be to take an MC block which has the piston
oil squirters and associated turbo related parts like the flange for the oil
return line and coolant for the turbo built into it already.  There are some
issues with coolant passages that some have expressed but I'm pretty sure
I've heard that somebody has actually done this (put a 20v head on an MC
10vt block).. anyone??
