>Now folks, that we are all so well informed about the advantges of  molten
sodium, would someone _care_ to answer the rest of question of whether the
heads are different appart from the valves. In fact what are the differences
among the whole motors. I'm sure that just replacing the valvetrain and
plugging in a turbo and FI and controls isn't _all_ there is to I5 turbo
conversions.

Well, I know the 80-83 5kt block has "oil squirters" aimed at the bottom of
the pistons to aid in cooling.  It also used beefier half shafts.  I think
to put a turbo in a 4k you really need a donor engine, not just a pair of
impellers and some plumbing...
