It might be real similar to a NT 2.0 block, but not a turbo block. Things like oil squirters and a knock sensor hole.

If you're going to build a motor with aftermarket pistons and rods, it's not any more expensive to just build a 2.4. But I wouldn't go more than .020 on a 2.4 block, there's been more than a few cases of cracked cylinders, like Momin's. You can bore the hell out of a 2.0, .060 is not unheard of.
