maybe you heard something about the "new" (for 2 years or so) Mountune Blocks, made from Aluminium with Liners....

for sure these blocks are a lot lighter than the old fashioned steel blocks.....

It probably is modified with blanked out distributor outlet, one oil exit where the oilfilter usually sits, larger hole where the oil pressure sensor sits for oil return and larger holes for the enginemount bolts.

horrible english i know.. there may be other modifications aswell
